[QUOTE="budlight, post: 12654, member: 2939"] I've been moly coating my own bullets for about 6 years. I lost about 50 fps across the board on all my chronographed loads. This would indicate less bullet to bore friction. I also noticed barrel heat in sustained bench rest shooting to be lower. I also added more powder in my loads to regain FPS. I also noted the lower barrel heat. So the barrel aquires more heat through friction than just hot gas from the powder burn. Somebody recently posted a nice write up on moly barrel prep and cleaning.
