I moly coated some projectiles yesterday, and I'm very pleased with the results.
I soaked the bullets (140gr Taipans in 6.5)in metho and dryed them off, then placed them in a screw top plastic container with 2 sizes of ball bearings. In went a small amount of moly and the jar went into my case tumbler. After 2 hours of shaking they came out very nice indeed (If I do say so myself )
Now were did I put those .22 bullets.......

I skip the cleaning process I just dump the bullets in a pill bottle with a small amount of moly put them in the tumbler with media for about thirty minutes and the bullets look as good.

DON"T skip the cleaning!!! I did and the moly did not stick!! I LOVE MOLY!!!!!

When I started using moly several years ago, I didn't clean the bullets first.If they set for a year or so in the box, the oil or whatever it is on the bullets started comeing through. It has been my experiance that they should be cleaned with a solvent before aplying the moly. I use the jar in the tumbler with BBs method too.
Good luck

Good job! The first few batches I did I didn't bother with the cleaning ritual and all was fine then I had a batch I didn't clean and all the coating the bullets got was what looked like a very light dusting. I clean every batch now and haven't had a problem since.

Though other Bullet Manufacturers "may" wash their bullets prior to shipment now, but it used to be that only Sierra did it.

Most leave the "Forming Die Lubricant" on the bullet jackets. In a small way it does help pervent tarnishing and corrosion. But, if you want Moly to get properly peened into the jacket, it really does need to be removed.

I soak my bullets in hot water and good old "Dawn" dishwashing liquid for about 30min. About evey 10min I reach in the bucket and give them a swirl. Then rinse them off in more hot water and set out in the sun for a few minutes.

Oh yes, DO NOT touch the bullets after washing.

The above commentary is rather facinating. Not because of content, but because it's interesting that anyone is still using moly. I wonder why?

Rustyrifling,
I use it to extend my cleaning interval which is all its good for. It definately reduces fouling.

My 6.5 barrel is a new Military barrel and metal fouls quite badly. I'm trying moly to see if it helps. If it doesn't well all it cost me was some ballbearings and a small amount of time. And I like mucking about with guns and stuff so I thought I'd give it ago.
