Tumbling tipped bullets in hBN, moly

[Idaho_Elk_Huntr]

Has anyone tried tumbling the tipped bullets (E-Tips)in hBN or moly? I was wondering how long does the bullet tip hold up

I have tumbled a couple of thousand B-tips from .22 to 308 without any problems but never E-tips. Dont know why they wouldnt work as well. I was just thinking of doing the same thing but I dont want to moly my .270 bore

I didnt know if it would booger up the tips. Im going to be using hBN. Moly is just to darn messy. I ordered a lb of the hBN last night. Wonder how many bullets that would do?

I moly tumbled both BT's and and SMK with not problems before I gave up on moly. I see no reason you would have any more troubles then those normally associated with Moly and the E=tips. If i still did Moly, I probably would moly the E-tips.

Forgive my ignorance, but what's hBN?

Hexagonal Boron Nitride
Does better than moly without the mess or pain in the behind clean up.

Thank you for the info on the HBN. Where would you get that and where would you get loading info. Is moly loading specs the same as HBN?

am i crazy i still use moly but i use it on my bullets i cast for handguns and i get no leading and i use it on rifle bullets that have a canelure (i cant spell well) and i always thought as long as they had a crimp that made up for the loss in chamber pressure due to the case mouth not holding the bullet tight. so like i said am i crazy?
