safariFailsafe question
Wondering if lubalox coated failsafes will shoot the same as moly coated failsafes?

krakyOthers may know better than me but I'm not sure the failsafes every came with anything but the dull lubalox coating. I know that the partitions had a moly of some sort (called moly gold?). I have some bulk bullets from midway. The 150 partitions golds seem to have moly but I couldn't get it off the bullet....even soaked em in straight ammonia for a bit. Then I got some bulk 230 gr failsafes....they had a real dull coating which I believe to be lubalox.

jjmponly one way too fine out shoot them and see, all the coatings do is help stop the bullet smeer, and lessen friction while in the barrel before flight, regards jjmp

Jonathan TomlinsonI may be wrong here but I am sure I read that Nosler had discontinued the Failsafe lineup of bullets, if this is the case, once theyr'e gone theyr'e gone so to speak
