[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 53296, member: 8947"] Hbar, I think what you are saying is that moly bullets engrave less thus the jacket is not as compromised - "cut". Unfortunately, I disagree. The bullet has to make it down that barrel and the dimension of the grooves don't change. The only thing is that the moly acts as a high pressure lubricant and reduces bore friction. As to increasing jacket integrity, forget it. Moly will wipe off on your fingers. It just fills in the pores of the jacket. Paint would be stronger as it actually adheres to the jacket. The lack of bullet expansion is probably a situation where tough bullet met very soft target. The 30 cal AMax are quite strongly built (compared to varmint bullets) so may not expand when hitting light targets, especially at extended range. In my comparisons, the amax 168gr are "weaker" then the 165gr Nosler BT at high impact vel. This makes the amax suitable for LR hunting or high impact vel varminting. Jerry [/QUOTE]
