Here's my situation.....I got a great deal on 500 moly coated 107 gr Sierra MK's from a buddy a few months ago ($100) and due to the added cost and availability issues I'm thinking about just shooting the regular bullets from here on out. I've shot 360 moly coated bullets down the barrel (that's all this barrel has ever seen) and I still have 140 left but I have 200 regular Sierra 107 gr MK's and 250 regular Berger 105 gr VLD target bullets on hand and thought about getting them moly coated but I wonder if it's really worth the time/expense? Right now I have just enough moly bullets on hand to load up for the wind reading clinic and match in 2 weeks up in Elk River, MN that I'm going to for my 1st ever event/match. I know what load I want to use with the moly bullets, 39.8 gr of IMR 4350 seated .005 off the lands. So I'm thinking about loading them up and setting them aside for that w/e and then start shooting the regular uncoated bullets from there on out.
So if I do switch to the regular uncoated bullets am I going to have to mess with a bunch more load testing again? Or can I just back off the powder by .1 to .2 gr and expect the same results?
Sorry for the newbie questions about this but I literally laid awake in bed last night worried/wondering what I should do............I know I'm a nutcase.
;D
