Mollie Coating

[Chuckhunter]

Seems to me that tight groups & top scores have been accomplished before and after the sugar coating fads.

This is certainly true, when I was shooting short range group & score back in the eighties molly coating bullets became very popular. Most shooters were coating bullets, I never did and never felt handicapped in any way. I did however talk to loads of guys and kind of got a feel for what was good and bad about the process. Now that I am shooting 1000Yd. Benchrest, I can tell you that there are times when coated bullets can be an advantage. Not from an accuracy standpoint but from a cleaning and consistency standpoint over long strings of fire being shot very fast. I'm not trying to sell the process, just pointing out what to expect from it as the OP asked.

I did for a while and pretty much quit. Have a few hundred coated bullets yet to use up. Always wondered how to tell the difference between the carbon and the moly when cleaning the barrel. Decided you couldn't. That was the main reason to quit.

carbon cleaner will clean carbon not that hard to figure out.

I still use MOLY, but have moved to HBN for all my newer rifles.

What does coating bullets have to do with tight groups and top scores? I've never noticed one bit of difference between naked and coated bullets as far as accuracy goes.

I thought the moly subject done.

Now I’m heading to the guitar store to play Stairway to Heaven.

That's funny, right there . . .

Thanks for the chuckle and the movie selection.

Exactly what I was saying.

I’m sure a good lubricant hasn’t hurt anybody’s barrel life or accuracy either. I have only found slight improvements but it’s hard to sell... I still use wet moly...
