Has anyone tried this stuff?? I belive Hornady markets one variety. I had thought about giving it a try on some fast moving .224 and .284 bullets. Anyone have any firsthand evidence that it works or doesn't??

I'm still waiting for conclusive proof that tumbled on Moly actually works.

I used the tumbled stuff sold by Midway for a while on my .308Win and .338WM. With hunting rifles at 100 yds I couldn't see any differance. I tried side by side tests with dialed in loads and included one step (.5 grain) on each side of the best load. Where I feel it has merrit is in high volume shooting, such as shootin' parrie dogs, should keep the barrel cleaner longer. A couple guys at the range where I shoot say the Ms. Moly spray is not near as messy once on the bullets and works better. My biggest complaint is the mess the tumbled on powder makes as you pack around the loads. I would like to see some pressure tests with moly and nonmoly loads.

If you will tumble your bullets in a pill bottle with BB's and a little dab of moly powder, you will only have to touch your bullets with your hands, about one time, when you load them. I put the pill bottle in my tumbler and the bottle will roll over slowly while it tumbles. It takes about 2 or 3 hours for the BB's to "peen" the moly on the bullets. I do about 200 bullets at a time, with about a half a bottle of BB's. If you try to do too many bullets at once, your bottle may not roll over and over in your tumbler. When I think the bullets have tumbled enough I dump them out into a spaghetti strainer inside an old pan.The BB's go in the pan, I take a large spoon and remove the bullets and put them in another large pill bottle with some corncob media. The bullets will be a dull grey and the moly will come off on your fingers . Tumble the bullets in the corncob for about 5 min. or so, but no longer. Now strain your bullets and corncob media back through your strainer into a clean pan. Your bullets will be nice and shiney and ready to load. You will get a little bit of moly on your fingers when you load the bullets, but no more than with most of the factoy moly bullets. I can do all of this with almost no mess at all. I use my big spoon and put the bullets back in the factory box. The only time I have to touch the bullets is whem I load them, and then they go in a 50 rd. plastic box. I used to wash the bullets and do the wax thing, but I can't see were it helped anything. Somewhere on the "Sinclair Reloading" site there is a more detailed stuff on this, also do a search on here, it's on here also. BA

We have used both the tumbled variety and the spray on from Outers.

Both methods work very well, the spray on is much cleaner.

We molly coat all our hunting bullets, as this certainly helps in keeping teh barrel clean.

We fire about 100 rounds on a hunt through a rifle, and we never clean the barrel there at all.

A couple of oily patches are passed through, and then the gun is not touched until we get home.

It usually takes no more than 10-20 patches to have the barrel spotless again.
