No one, I mean no one moly coats like me...

Yes, this is correct.

This is the method I posted on my website in 2013, and I shared it back then.

I have a bucket of acetone/alcohol I use for final dip when wet tumbling brass. I use the same bucket and an old lettuce strainer to dunk the bullets. Dipped bullets come out even shiner and more clean, but it certainly is not necessary. I suggest the real trick is the shaking in the cake pan on the paper towels. Don't be afraid to do this several times!!

Heat gets excess from hollow point

Yeah I read all that stuff about moly attracting moisture to stainless steel that came from this MSDS sheet that someone was passing around that was some kind of liquid machine Lube that they said would attract moisture from the air which has Dick to do with moly coated bullets and barrels. I have never had any problem from Molly and I've been doing it 25 years. Maybe it's the way people moly coat their bullets I have no idea but I have never had rust in my barrels I've never had any of these things that you read about on the Internet it's just ridiculous the lies that have been told about moly coating. And every time I post anything about moly coating I have to read 20 different posts from people who say that it's the most evil thing ever invented and they're experts on moly coating. And they tried it this one time and it didn't work and so it must be from the Devil. I find the entire thing pretty laughable. If you don't like moly coating that's great I really don't care. Like I said I've been doing it for more than two decades and some really great shooters like John whidden still use moly to this day, but that never seems to get mentioned that there's guys getting beat by guys that shoot moly coated bullets everyday.

Yah what he said !!

Everyone to his own methods. Back in early 1997, I tried the moly-coated bullets in my 6 PPC. At first they seemed to work well, but there was a build-up that took a lot of scrubbing with JB to get rid of it. When I talked to Speedy Gonzalez and the late Don Gentner, I discovered that these two bullet makers were totally against coating bullets. Don was almost offended that anyone would take his carefully made bullets and beat them with steel balls and coat with a substance that did not improve accuracy. Also, he stated that the shooter had to increase powder charge to get back to his desired velocity.
Speedy took another approach and encouraged all of his competitors to use moly....because he would worry less about them beating him. Of course, he said this with a somewhat "tongue-in-cheek" attitude, but he may have been serious.
I quit the moly habit back in '97 and haven't regretted it. Good shooting....James

The loss of velocity and having to raise your powder charge indicates less friction pushing the bullet down the barrel therefore proving that it does lubricate the barrel to a certain extent

Until it doesnt. You should section a moly user’s barrel after theyve done everything they can dream of to clean it out. Speedy wasnt the only one that encouraged its use.

It was either conversation with another member or what I read in bulliten on molly coating. Its the sulpher thats corrosive.
Maybe HBNis the way I should go.

Do you want to try some of Davi Tubb's stuff? PM me your address and I'll send you some. I bought it on a whim and have never used it.

I like my bullets like I like my women...Naked!

 

[338 dude]

What brand of Moly do you use? Do you tumble for a short bit in clean media after tumbling in the Moly?

I have to say that mine look pretty sexy too.

I would put mine up in a friendly competition with anybody

I just noticed this thread, man the title sounds just like something Guffy would say.

I moly wet. Then rinse until clear in water. Polish on a bed of paper towels. Bath in acetone. Final polish on paper towels.

LIKE STEEL BILLETS.

How do you prevent liquid from entering and remaining inside the hollow points ? Have you thought about that possibility ?

 

[eric32]

Heat the bullets up and dries out the water and moly trapped in the hollow point

 

[urbanrifleman]

I hard agitate the bullets on paper towels until all the water is purged from the tips and the paper towels are clean. I still do this if I dunk them in acetone.

Then I put them in the oven for an hour on 180 degrees. Then I turn off the oven and leave them in there. Then they are bone dry.

I used Moly for a few years and did get marked improvement in barrel wear. Cleaning was easier but i did not remove it until the end of the season. I switched to WS2 and have never looked at anything else. I am coating 6mm,6.5, and .308 bullets all in bulk and load and shoot for months before i do another batch. Many folks use bb’s or other bearings, etc but i quickly dropped that. No need, the bullets will pick it up and rub/polish on each other just fine. A friend asked me more than 10 years ago how I clean my tumbler...easy answer...I never have. It is a dedicated tumbler and is just for WS2.
One big item, coating is a decision. Either you coat or not. (I have some loads i never coat bullets for because i also get some free ammo for them and can’t shoot a mix). You can change your mind and go back to naked bullets but it takes a few rounds to settle down. Vise Versa same if coating.
