[QUOTE="Toddxusmc, post: 1594379, member: 108726"] Ed, if you’re considering this, why not just moly coat your bullets. It does work and was used extensively by match shooters. Its actually a dry lubricant like graphite. It’s an easy process and it reduces the rate at which a barrel will heat up and virtually eliminates copper fouling. The downside is that you need to adjust your powder charge (increase in most cases) and you have to absolutely get it all out of your barrel. The second downside is very important, moly will attract and hold moisture therefore you can etch a good bore. I think it fell out of favor due to the downsides; it just wasn’t worth the effort to most match shooters for the benefits they got. I still use it from time to time, especially for coating lead bullets to be fired from a polygonal barrel as in my Tangfolio. [/QUOTE]
