I've had quite a bit of experience with moly.
I wouldn't bother with it in a hunting rifle at all, in fact with the amount of moisture we sometimes encounter hunting I think it could be detrimental, because it does weird things when moisture contacts it!
to make it work properly you have to jam the lands, and up your powder charge to get the same velocity as nekkid bullets.
As far as competitive shooters go , you might as well ask about break in procedures or bullet to land recommendations!
We cannot and will never agree on the pros/cons of moly.
My advice is if you like it, use it, but be prepared to re-design your hunting bullet data to accomadate it.
lubalox?
I've loaded them for one of the guys, they are expensive to buy and I really don't thik they do anything more than a nekkid bullet either!
The two are completely different systems of coating, one is kineticlly applied , and the other put on in a baking process IIRC.
The lubalox type is closer to the XLC coatings that barnes uses, but still different.
They also claimed big velocity gains with lower pressures, but their load data did not prove out in the tests that Oldbadger and Ii did - sure is a wake up call to get bonked on the head by a tailpiece from TWO different guns with a starting load!
personally, I like 'em nekkid!!
