New product! Moly coated powder!
Along with graphite (still needed for static control and water resistance), the powder grains are coated with molybdenum disulfide. The moly deposits as on the bore along with the normal powder fouling. This decreases metal fouling on subsequent shots; makes cleaning easier; and keeps pressures consistent, potentially enhancing accuracy. No need to buy moly coated bullets or moly coating kits. Works with anything from soft lead to steel jacketed solids.

Henry...

Son, what have you been drinking??

Graphite in NOT used in most powders, if at all... and the balck stuff you see isn't moly, it is a burning deturent... that is also not used in all powders because there are colorless deturents available.
Look at the Hodgdon powders... they are GREEN! There is no moly in powder.

If you doubt me, simply call the powder companies and they will set you straight.

A bench rest shooter was telling me that he added molly to his powder just a few weeks ago.
Said it droped better with the powder messure and gave all the things you said in your post.

Have you used it,and what do you think about it.
