Moly coated bullets

[picklehead]

I been moly coating bullets for a few years now and just cleaned the 257 weath mag.The rifle loves the 115grn Bergers or 100grn SMK's and seen nothing but my moly coated bullets from day one other than a box of factory to break the barrel in.I clean this baby every 15 to 30 shots no matter what.Plugged the barrel and filled it up with KROIL and a few swipes with a brush and patch has it like brand new.No copper fouling and very little carbon.Might get to push a few rounds at 400 yards this weekend if its nice out.Barrels are funny and seems like this one does its best at number 3 shot to 20 for great accuracy.When I say great,i mean 1.5" or less at 400 yards and all other shots before or after 3 to 20 still smokes a three inch dot.I just think its best to keep it clean instead of letting fouling build up.

Moly fouling seems to go away very fast when cleaning with Kroil oil and a super smooth barrel helps more than anything.I will try to figure out pics on here and will post a few if I get to shoot at 400 yards.My range is 220 but that's no fun anymore.

Pickle answer a question for me, please.

Why is it only 223 and 22 Hornet which gat moly coated? I am sure there must be a good reason.

John I moly most everything from 223 to 338/378. It serves best with rifles that shoot a lot such as 223 and the Hornet. Hunting Rifles that only shoot a few times a year don't get maximum benefits from it.

Thanks for the analysis Mark. I knew there was some good reason why I did not moly everything. Man I just am waiting for spring with baited breath. 223, Hornet, 38 I am good to go. Now if it warms up just a little more.

Pickle go back to sleep. Sorry if I woke you suddenly.

[picklehead]

I guess its what Mark said and why do you think that.I moly coat all bullets that are pushed hard and to be very honest,i don't know why I do it other than it keeps the copper fouling down a bit and really never seen that it makes the FPS higher and pressures lower like some claim unless you lap a good barrel to 1000 grit or more.

I think its what Mark said because most of the factory moly bullets are in cals that people run piles of rounds thru like the 223 and 308.Not sure and guessing.

Hey pickle sorry for waking you up. Catch a little cat nap. Hey you can tell me to go F myself. Just because I am old you certainly do NOT have to treat me with respect. You certainly do shoot more and at longer distances with smaller groups than I do.

[picklehead]

Wow,sounds like you need a nap,you cranky ole lobster eater.I would never tell you to F your self and pretty sure I sent an e-mail to say hi and checking on you a day or so ago because I didn't see you posting for a while.Thought maybe you and honey took off on another trip.I treat everyone with respect wether 2 or 100 years old.You must have ate a big bowl of FRUIT LOOPS or something.Love ya bone head
