Lets hear your comments on Moly Coating

[22to45]

I know lots of guys don't do it any more. I do, as I like the cool barrels. Get as technical as you want, do you like it or not? Thanks

Marketing hype. This article is pretty thorough. Add the W's. .shootingsoftware.com/moly.htm

I use moly bullets in match ammo. I have to add a half gr of powder to keep velocity the same.

I do it because I like to shoot long competitions (a week of shooting) without cleaning.

Moly is a high pressure lubricant.

In quality lapped barrels, the surface is smooth enough that friction related fouling is low.

If shooting factory or milsurp rifles, the benefit of moly is possible. I used alot of moly in my milsurp days.

As I spend 99% of my shooting now with quality barrels, the need for moly is moot.

I use it for my target guns and old milsurps.... Not for my hunting guns which I leave fouled.
Benefits are shot to shot consistency from a cold clean bore through the course of fire, and reduced bore wear.

I tried moly, saw no real benefit, so I quit using it.

I like it from the reduced cleaning benefit for the longer competitions ... I also seem to see less flame cracking in front of the chamber (I need to shoot out a few more barrels to confirm).

love it, get smaller groups for my son with his 9mm and .243

I too like it for the extended time/rounds between cleaning especially in high volume situations like varmint shooting.
