Thndrchicken... To expand on eating game shot with moly coated bullets. Isn't lead considered a hazardous material too?

Other than getting shot by it, eating lead is about the worst thing you can do with it, other than sanding it down to a fine dust and inhaling it. I would think that the verytiny amount of moly on a bullet wouldn't harm you very much compared to a sliver of lead or lead bb you accidentally injest.

If you think about it, handgun and .22 bullets are usually lubed with some sort of alox/wax combination, not sure if the stuff is considered a health food, but I doubt anyone ever got sick from eating an animal shot with either.

Shouldn't be much fouling with Nosler partitions they are gilding metal in lieu of copper like the Aframe, Barnes, TB and Scirroco. Bore can be rough or its not completely broken in or maybe a different bore cleaner needs to be used. Moly has pros and cons I guess and people either love it or hate it. Lubaloy is the coating on Failsafes and I think it may be a bit more durable then Moly but not sure.

I wonder why all Combined Tech bullets are not lubadox coated other than moly which only the silverpoints are.

BC i am thinking since the failsafe is copper that pressure buildup in tests was extreme so they went to the lubalox like Barnes went with XLC

I think only the silvertip is lubalox, and the CT partition and failsafe are moly'd. Its on the www.nosler.com website.
