It's easy to get it out if you are concerned. Brake cleaner removes it pretty quickly. Just make sure and oil after.
I've shot moly bullet in some of my guns for 20 years and haven't had any problems.
could you clean the bullets with brake cleaner first?
Too late, Bearhunter answered the question already.
Thanks
I’d avoid them as I absolutely hate molly, “It’s the herpes of the automotive world.” is what my lordco parts guy said once. Once you get it on something it’s there forever, it’s worse than anti seize or atf as far as I’m concerned lol!
Now, that is funny. Moly has its place just like everything else. Every oil change on my ram 5.7 it gets a can of liquid moly. No sign of the infamous camshaft problem, just a start up tick. On my first airplane, a 90 hp J-3, I had uncomfortably high oil temperatures in summer. I bought a bottle of Moly Slip, went out and flew until it was hot, close to 200F. Landed, dumped in that bottle of Moly Slip and took off again. You could actually see the temp gage drop until it settled at 180F. That sold me on it.
Next summer when I do all the fluid changes in my truck, the diffs will get their own little bottle.
For bullets? Maybe not so much.
I might be "out of date" but I think FSR in Sweden mostly use 130 grain 6.5x55 moly coated from Norma. I was able to pick up some "Golden Target" bullets - same bullets, except not moly coated. Was my impression that once you start with moly coated, to stay with them - not for swapping back and forth with "naked" bullets.
OP,
Clean/tumble to moly off the projectiles,reload & shoot.
Moly cuts down on friction, but don't put it in Limited slip differentials, the clutches need their friction to function correctly.
Same goes for manual transmissions, synchro's need friction to do their work.
