Aparently Winchester uses two different types of coatings.

Lubalox is only used on the Balistic silvertip and the molly (previous post) is used on the failsafe and partition gold.

I still think the salesman is full of crap. I don't think that Nosler and Winchester both would stake their reputations of a coating that rusts out your barrel.


Here is what Nosler says about the two.

Are Lubalox and Moly the same?
NO, Lubalox (CT Ballistic Tip) is an oxide-based coating, which reduces fouling and allows more shooting between cleanings, also Lubalox does not buildup in the barrel and requires only normal cleaning procedures. Moly (CT Fail Safe & Partition Gold) is a molybdenum disulfide coating which reduces fouling and friction. Moly requires a barrel be conditioned by shooting several rounds after cleaning and special cleaning procedures. Accuracy with non-coated bullets may not be up to par in a Moly conditioned barrel.
