Would be very interested to hear how it works out.
Yeah, I tried the factory moly coated bullets, kinetically powder coating, and the spray on stuff. Non of it really impressed me after messing with it for more than a year for various reasons, and at the end of the day it was not a deciding factor on any particular rifle as far as accuracy was concerned .

As far as powder coating jacketed bullets go, there is a lot of argument against doing it just for the increased bullet diameter in the case of pure accuracy.
I have a few XLC Barnes bullets kicking around, just for yucks I may just measure them today to check the diameter against some of their uncoated bullets .
