captured Moly coated bullets after firing??

joe,
the issue is that major manufactures have tested and documented thier results.
so it does work.
and then someone who does not understand silence is golden has to step up and claim it is untrue..moly does not work.
because they failed..no documentation...
since i have been using moly for well over 10 years..in nearly every rifle i own, i have some experience......it does work.
i have switched to hbn in my 1000 yd gun...too soon to make any claims.
maybe instead of silence is golden, the other old one...if you can't say something nice, say nothing.

There's probably a bunch that feel the same. "Silence is golden" is a virtue not all know about.....

don,
sorry but i see it all the time. people who fail with moly wanting to claim it does not work. people cannot do a simple task with a work plan.
i have never found any of my bullets.....we shoot into sand but i think it might "sand" the finish right off.

Gee Mike, This not a conspiracy, no hidden agenda, just curious how the bullet looked after fireing. I thought I phrased it well to find out what I wanted. I have been shooting Moly bullets for three years, both varmint hunting and Benchrest 100-200 and 1,000 yds. I 'aint' no virgin. You are right about the black, messy, I wear Latex gloves to keep my pinkies pink. I bought some HBN to try also. I have shot well over 10,000 Moly bullets, mostly at varmints so I don't have to clean my guns till evening. Don

Hi Guys, Has anyone captured a Moly coated bullet in a medium that wouldn't rub off the Moly coating, to see how much Moly was still on the bullet after firing it? Thanks for any info. Don

I used to catch moly coated bullets in my teeth for the circus (me and my brother are conjoined twins), but stopped when i found out that the coating could affect my health.
 
Switch to hexagodiagonal borinic niteride (HBN) and enjoy increased proclivity, lividity and masticatory health and wellness.....

Say hi to your brother next time you run across him.

BTW, what do you call a Roman with hirsute teeth?

I would have thought your dentist would have asked about the black marks on your teeth.

Your dentist is only interested in making sure you have those marks. It might make sense to eliminate them, but it won't make him any dollars.

That was quite funny Al.
 
I most always hear moly being discussed in regard to the barrels, ie easier cleaning etc. But wouldnt it stand to reason that the moly would affect the friction of the neck, not exactly neck tension but rather neck friction?

Has to reduce neck friction, too. But what I gots to know, is what is the coating technique with Hex Boron? Just got a sample to try out. Same as Moly??
 
do a seach on the competiton forum...but yes aprox the same as moly with no wax.

dont believe the stories about "easier" to clean. its not harder but it is different.

yes i would believe there is less neck tension, but in my applications it has not been an issue....both bolt guns and ar's

I have a can of spray moly.
I use it on a patch after I clean and dry the barrel.
It does make it stay cleaner longer and easier to clean at least for me.
I have shot a whole yardage and then just patched out the barrel.
I was not sure if it was really coming clean soooo
I took some of the various cleaners for copper and the like and got no blue.
I used a borescope and the only thing I can find is a small carbon ring at the end of the chamber.
Even with this I am still not totally convinced that I should go more than 2-3 matches without cleaning.
 
not if you are not coating the bullets......
there are bbl prep formulas which decrease the time to "settle" in a bbl, but without moly on the bullets every shot is wearing away the coating, not building one up.

Being a moly fan for years what I'd like to see is, starting with a clean barrel, the jacket of the 10th moly'd bullet fired.

I think I am with al. I use HBN on my bullets and can go two three matches without cleaning. On the other hand if you are shootin a 30Br you better shoot about 10-12 rounds thru a clean barrel before you start a match and then put the cleaning equipment away for the remander of the match, even a two day match. 30BR and H4198 shoots so clean that cleaning is not so good for accuracy. A shooting buddy and me found out this the hard way. We got our arses handed to us on a platter when we cleaned after each target

The recovered bullets we examined had the moly rubbed off where the bullet contacted the barrel. We band sawed the barrels in half, on some worn out barrels that had ony moly bullets fired through them. The moly could only be seen(even with a microscope) 2" foreward of the throat and we were not able to remove it. It was imbeded in the same heat cracks etc. that you see in regular barrel throats with uncoated bullets. After that I started to swab the complete bore with moly rather than just the bullet. The flame front at the throat is what ruins a barrel, but I think moly helps with friction and cleaning, but not just on the bullet but the complete bore. Just my two cents.

...all depends on how moly was applied, methinks.
