Mixing Moly and in coated bullets???

[djtjr]

Getting ready for highpower season shooting service rifle. I have a bunch of 223 short range ammo that has 69 gn match kings that are moly coated. I was only able to find the 80 grainers that I shoot at 600 in their non moly form. Will switching from moly to non moly from the mid range stages to 600 without cause me any problems with consistency and accuracy. I realize my 80 grain loads and drops may need to be tweaked a bit but will the mix and match after 2 stages to the third make a significant difference or create any problems?
Thanks for the time
Don

Could always send the 80's to me, I run a bullet coating service. As to your question, once you go moly its a pain to go back. I shoot moly in every thing and tried to mix the last bunch of uncoated rounds in one rifle, after shooting 50( 10 short of getting to the 600 yard line in a xtc match) or so I switched back to the last 15 uncoated, group nearly tripled...

It did matter in my guns when I first tried molly.
I'd shoot a group with it and without cleaning I'd try a group without. Never did work out good. I later learned that even after cleaning the gun, it took 7-10 shots eighter way before the groups started to look like they really should.
I just went with molly for the match guns and necked with the hunting stuff.
I'm sure everybody thats fooled with molly has had different results in different bbls.
