lyman-super-moly-spray-lube-aerosol

in the '70s i used a commercial grease * moly-lube * which worked fine for cast lubricant . didn't know if it was the grease carrier or the moly ... that was before the big MOLY debate . i just knew it worked great on high pressure sliding surfaces .

later i used spray ” black chain oil ” which is moly based . works fantastic for gun mechanism grease also .

then i went to using a high quality bearing grease ( andok c ) with dry moly powder mixed in . mostly on rimfire, i found i needed almost none to do the job .

i did not find better pure accuracy with the moly goop ... but did find that if i used just a teensy bit, i did not need to scrub the barrels. using non-moly factory match ammo, some barrels needed cleaning every 50 shots .... but some barrels didn't .... so as usual, results are not quite definitive ... i do think it helps stabilize barrel conditioning and would like to see more data ....

use of moly on benchrest mj bullets may be a different set , but i do know some very good shooters still use moly and seldom or never scrub their barrels.

i might mention that with the rimfires if i used it on every bullet, i had to run a ed's red patch about every 100 rounds ....so i found that i needed only to glisten the bullet every third shot .... almost none !!!

just some trivia ... oh, i got high quality dry moly powder from mcmaster-carr . black chain lube from ace hardware . i also use the moly chain lube on my south bend spindle plain bearings .
