Diamond Line / Moly
Through the years many experiments with friction reducing substances on bullets have been conducted.
NECO, in USA, is a small company that in the late 80ies made several such tests.
The end result of all these tests was that moly, with a light coating of carnuba wax on top, was the best for reducing friction and barrel wear.
Also, here at Norma we have tested various friction- reducing materials, but so far nothing has been so good as the NECO method of moly and wax.
Moly is a very efficient friction reducer with no ill effects.
The carnuba wax is the same as used in car waxes.
Not only does the wax keep the moly on the bullets it also improves the performance of the moly.
In the NECO moly process we tumble 10 000 bullets in 25grams of moly and small steel shots.
The moly is therefore hammered into the jacket of the bullets.
The bullets are then cleaned from excessive moly and put in another tumbler, where the thin layer of dry wax is put on.
The effect of shooting moly-coated bullets is that it reduces jacket fouling considerably and prolongs barrel life.
Our 6.5 mm DL bullet has a rather sharp conjunction between ogive and body.
It seems like VLD types of bullets benefit in accuracy most from moly-coating.
Our older target bullet (very similar to Sierra 140gr MK) has a more conventional design, and does not benefit in accuracy like the DL.
