    Look online there is a truck load of info.

    Google “can i moly coat lead projectiles” try additional wild card, say “review”

    Wrong application, moly works greater with pressure, lead unjacketed is a different beast

    I use a spray on graphite on lead bullets and a wad cut from an ice cream container lid in the 45/70 and 375 Big Bore with no leading.

    Would this work on rifle cast bullets?
