Any opinions on moly coating bullets for reloads? I'm wondering if there are any advantages concerning barrel wear or muzzle velocity, given the 9X23's high velocity. Any opinions on the usefulness of Remington's Golder Saber 124 and 147 gr. bullets for this cartridge, moly coated or not?

Hello. I've moly-coated bullets in 9mm and fired them against the same bullets not coated. Unlike rifle rounds I worked with in the past, velocity did increase about 40 ft/sec and I noted no difference in group size. The bbl did clean easier, but not all that much easier.

It might pay off greater dividends as you note in the faster caliber.

Best.
