Moly All the way if you are .223 Faster velocities appreciate it. I have had no copper fouling in 3 years of owning a .223 as a result.;)

Yes its .223, what do you use for cleaning?

Well I have a bottle of Forrest Foam and Hoppes Benchrest too.
But when you clean very little dirt comes out to be honest.

In comparison to Copper which can be very hard to shift

a tikka tactical,found them very sporadic

murph226

Terrier

Tikka Tactical .223 + Hornday 55gr BT Moly = perfect every time

Tikka and Remington have different Twist rates, 55grain do best in remmy whereas 70grain do best in Tikka. I fired a bix of 75grain at paper and they were all over the place.

I'll stay with my 55grain Moly Hornday

YAY on moly, makes cleanin a hell of alot easier and it's not really required as often as you have no copper residue nestling in the twists.

Just to throw a spanner in the works (so to speak). Read this extract in this article posted by murph226.

According to Mike Rock and the other barrel manufactures agreed, all you need to avoid this metal-to-metal contact is a good burnish in the barrel. Some barrel manufactures will void your barrel warranty if you shoot moly bullets. This is not to say that moly is necessarily bad for a barrel, but it can be when applied to bullets. Never shoot moly coated bullets as they are bad juju for the throat of a rifle.

Just another angle/view point. Wondering if any of you had similar experiences.
