[QUOTE="MachV, post: 36747, member: 93"] Used to be a big fan of moly but have limited it to high volume prairie dog rounds lately.To get the most out of moly you will have to prep the bore.By preping it has to be squeeke clean with no copper or fowling in the barrel.Moly has a bad habit of makeing a small problem a big one as it builds up...real fast in some cases!! The next thing is to get the very clean barrel warmed up a little(bright sunlight works good,dash of pickup works great)and then put an even coat of moly bore prep throught the barrel being carefull not to get any in the chamber. If you are useing reloads chances are your gona have to start all over with load development as moly will change peak preasues and slow down a bullet. Some have said moly causes pitting and corrotion and I have proven it can but my Ruger VT in 223 has 6500 rounds down the barrel and I can not see any sign of pitting.I'll know more when the barrel is pulled and rechambered to 223AI(havent ben able to find the lands with a bullet the last couple of years ;-) If you deside moly is too much of a pain it can be removed with a lot of patches soakt in dishwashing soap,dishsoap also works to get moly off of the bullets.
