Ready for the dumb question of the week? Can you moly coat polymer tipped bullets? (I hope so, because I just put a batch in.....). Any common knowledge about this idea I ain't got?

I think you'll be fine... Hornady sold the v-max in moly. If they can do it... so can you!

I coated 7mm 162 A-Max for years before they began to sell them. It works really well. If you clean the rifle, it takes a few rounds to coat the rifling again but after that, no problem shooting all weekend with no cleaning. When you begin coating, you have to work up your load again because the velocity changes.

Well, I flung most of them downrange yesterday at Pe Ell, and they seemed to work very well! I shot a high score (for me), and they seemed to work as well as the Sierras 107s I ran out of... cheaper, too.... gonna go get some more, and molly-coat them! They were 6.5 120gr Hornady ELDs sitting on 36 grains of Varget, btw...... Probably one of my higher turkey scores.....
