6BR naked vs. Moly powder adjustments?

In order to maintain pressure and velocity with moly bullets approx. how much more powder do you need to add- say as a percentage or in grains- compared to naked bullets in a 6BR?
And can you always get back enough velocity overcoming the pressure drop of the slippery moly bullets by adding extra powder? specifically speaking to long range shooting with 105's etc.

Not all cartridges will experience a drop in velocity when switching to moly. To actually see if there is one and to determine how much powder you need to add to get back up to a given velocity, you need a chronograph. And, it's not the best idea to ask someone else how their 6BR reacted to moly. Every rifle is different.
