The Shooter's Choice

Frequently Asked Questions
Question:  Who is Moly-Bore?
Answer:    The Moly-Bore Company consists of an association of an avid competitive shooter and others with extensive experience in sales, distribution, and purchasing of precision industrial products and lubricants.

Question:  What equipment is needed?
Answer:    If you purchase a Moly-Bore kit, any type of tumbler or vibratory unit will produce excellent results. If using steel balls, then a rotary tumbler works best (use one without a rubber liner).

Question: What does the process do?
Answer:   By tumbling the bullets in our special media, a microscopic film of Moly is transferred from the media to the surface of the bullets. The coating is impregnated onto the surface of the bullet and will not rub off while handling, as other brands do. When the round is fired, the Moly is then transferred to the surface of the barrel.

Question: How do I clean my Moly-Coated barrel?
Answer:   Just complete 4 easy steps.
1. Push an oil or solvent-soaked patch (such as Kroil or Hoppes No. 9) through the barrel.
2. Allow the barrel to soak for 5 minutes.
3. Push a couple of dry patches through the barrel.
4. A light gray film will appear on the patches - job is now complete.

Question: When will my barrel need cleaning?
Answer:   Experienced Moly-Bore shooters clean their barrels every 200-300 rounds.

Question: How many shots does it take to coat the barrel?
Answer:   All barrels react differently. Normally 8-12 shots are sufficient to coat your barrel.

Question: How long does a kit last?
Answer:   The pre-treated media will coat more than 5000 .30 cal. bullets and the replenish powder in the kit will coat more than 30,000 additional. The mini-kit will treat about half as many as a full kit. Replenishment materials are available if you need them, however.
