Moly coated bullets
« on: December 11, 2014, 10:37:52 AM »
I just picked up 500 rounds of moly coated 38spc & 45 acp for SASS and Wild Bunch shooting. I have looked at the different load data sites like IMR, and have found no data for moly coated bullets.  I mostly load with Trail Boss and Auto Comp and run "middle of the road" with my powder. If the data says to use 3.8 to 5.2 grains of Trail Boss, I will usually go with 4.4 to 4.6 gns and so on.  My question is, does anyone here reload moly coated bullets? If so, is does the load data stay the same as with cast lead bullets?  If not, where do I find load data for them? I have emailed the data site for IMR / Hodgdon / Winchester twice and have yet to get an answer.  Thanks in advance,  W. L.    ???

Treat them like cast of the same weight, they are supposed to have less friction so pressure in theroy would be slightly lower, same thing, you are fine using jacketed data with cast because of less friction.
