Well I just pulled a stainless barrel out that was left dirty for 4.5yrs and you could visibly see green growing at the muzzle. Cleaned it as I would with any other barrel, inspected with a bore scope and its bright any shiny with no signs of pitting or corrosion.
Hi Adam, (how’s things down your way?)
No matter what you do with your barrel, naked, moly, hbn, ADI powders, Alliant, VV powder, there is always different types of management that needs to be employed.
I have seen what should be brand new looking .308 barrels with severe fire cracking at 300 rounds due to poor management, no moly went near these barrels.
Moly is no different, there are both advantages and disadvantages to using Moly, I am a moly user, but not across all my rifles, only for specific purposes.
If you manage your barrels correctly, you will get good service life out of them, if you don’t, you wont.
The use of moly does not dictate if a barrel will fail early, it is the management of that barrel that does so.
