Title: Moly coated bullets
Post by: Hobby hunter on June 25, 2022, 09:28:58 am

I got some 140gr moly coated bullers as they were cheap as to use in my service rifle for comps. Im pretty sure they arent factory coated but it sticks on pretty good. Im trying to remove the coating. Been soaking them in engine degreaser which is getting some of it off. Ive seen suggestions of tumbling it off. So ill try putting them in my tumbler with a little bit of brasso.

Tumbler walnut media and a bit of brasso seems to be working..

Finally got the pills out of the tumbler today and the walnut media and brasso worked well at removing the moly. Took quite a few hours of tumbling/vibrator polishing. Gave them a rinse off with meths to remove the ammonia that the brasso has in it..
