moly and barrel wear?

Working up loads for new Shilen 308win
I have consulted with barrel makers on moly coated bullets. They advise to either use moly or bare, but not both. They are also not opposed to using Smooth Kote in the barrel.

What happens if you alternate between coated and uncoated bullets?
 
with a moly bullet you will need a little more powder to keep the same velocity.

This is correct , don't use the same load in both. Much more pressure with bare bullets.
