They may increase friction, but when I was shooting moly coated bullets they seemed to reduce copper fouling. The ones that I was shooting became unavailable, so I moved away from the moly.
My .257 Roberts was chambered in a Remington model 722, which is a short action. I seated my bullets to a OAL of .010" off the end of the magazine box. This insured that they would feed and they were still well off the lands. I've always been under the belief that published COAL is based on some...
I purchased my Co-Ax (Bonanza) press in 1965. Forster later acquired them. This press has been used to load tens of thousands of rounds and still loads extremely accurate ammunition (no signs of any play). Forster continues to support my original press and has incorporated several upgrades to it...
