[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1227549, member: 30902"] You will find people who swear by or over anything. Using Moly coatings on bullets definitely builds up material inside of your barrel so if you are not cleaning religiously and thoroughly sooner or later you build up enough to cause constriction and pressure problems. After much research over the course of several years mostly consisting of reading technical articles and listening to shooters I know, trust, and respect I came to the conclusion that shooting moly coated bullets occasionally did little or no harm but also offered little or no long term benefits unless your tube is just rough as a stove pipe to begin with. Even in the latter case I think you are far better off trying to polish out the barrel with a good jag and patches wetted with lapping compound vs trying to fill the gouges with moly compounds. For long term protection I have always kept a light coat of some sort of non drying lubricant in my barrels because I don't clean religiously and most of my rifles are considered "Truck Guns" meaning there's at least one bouncing around in the front and another in the back seat 365 days a year no matter what the conditions. Under such conditions even stainless is not truly "stainless" and rust free so something that both lubricates and protects is essential; just don't over do it. Again after man years of trying numerous oils and spray type grease I settle on a product called "machinegunners lube".

I've pulled apart bolts that I've not lubricated in years (Rem 700, AR's, M77's and M70's and found no rust and very little if any dust whatsoever showing even on the springs and firing pins. I'm very happy with it and don't know of anyone who's given it a honest try that was not also very pleased with it. [/QUOTE]
