Combined technology nosler bullets

[sksshooter]

Question for the folks who may know. I assume the ct bullets are molly coated. Based on that assumption it would seem a short spin in the dry media tumbler would knock that coatinf right off. Are my assumptions right or? Im not opposed to shooting them but i recently picked up a few hundred 30 cals for the right price and dont see where they are diff from the noj coated aside from the coating... seems i could just tumble it off and roll

And the reason you don't want to shoot with the coating is? I have interchanged Ballistic Tip and CT bullets in hunting rifles ( .270, 7mm and .30 cal.) and the difference in POI with the same load is so slight I have never adjusted the scope to re-zero.

I don’t think it’s Moly, It’s been said to be a proprietary coating of Winchester of some sort applied to Nosler bullets. Just shoot em’

Winchester had that type of a coating on some and, I believe Nosler had some with the same type of coating.
It is along the line of moly, but a little different.
Why bother removing it, just shoot them.
But if you want to remove it, tumbling will probably do the trick.

What is Lubalox®?
Lubalox® is the trade name Winchester uses to describe a black oxide process. It is a very thin oxide bullet coating, often compared to the bluing on a steel firearm.

What are the benefits of lubalox?
The primary benefit of Lubalox is reduced barrel fouling. The process creates a surface on the bullet jacket, which increases the number of shots possible between cleanings. Unlike moly-coated bullets, Lubalox-coated bullets leave the barrel residue-free and do not require barrel “seasoning”. Additionally, unlike uncoated bullets that tarnish over time, Lubalox protects the surface of the bullet jacket, keeping it looking like new.

Will Lubalox® harm the gun barrel?
Lubalox does not harm the barrel. In fact, testing shows that the coating often reduces barrel fouling.

Lubalox® coating is not a Moly coating.

1 Polymer Silvertip
Polymer Silvertip prevents deformation in the magazine.
2 Lubalox ®Exterior Coating
Reduces fouling, pressure and friction between bullet and bore; provides longer barrel life, easier cleaning and enhanced accuracy.
3 Fully Tapered Jacket and Special Lead-Alloy Core
Allows controlled expansion and optimum weight retention at all practical velocity levels. The heavy jacketed base prevents bullet deformation during firing.
4 Heavy Jacketed Base
Acts as a platform for large- diameter mushroom.
5 Ballistically Engineered Solid Base®
Boat tail configuration combines with the streamlined polymer tip for extreme long-range performance and for easier loading.
