[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 4327677, member: 41653"] I see. Magic powder. Moly was a fad back in the late 80s - early 90s. I even bought some Black Talon cartridges. They were supposed to be so slippery that bullet proof Kevlar vests wouldn't stop them; the moly coating would allow the bullet to just slip through the weave of the Kevlar. There was a great deal of talk about outlawing the moly coated bullets because of that claim. It was supposed to be the slipperiest thing ever: coat the bore, make everything just peachy. All that and shoot sub-billionth inch groups. It didn't last, mostly because it didn't do any of what was claimed, but did make a big mess. I know a guy right now that is learning about moly coated bullets what the rest of us learned 30-40 years ago. There ain't no magic potion to make us shoot better. Practice Practice practice. All that said, if you want to try it then I'm certainly not the person to tell you no. Where would we be without experimentation? Good luck with your experiments, and thanks for the explanation.
