Boron Nitride is out there and is expensive. Around $85 per pound. Have not tryed it yet but looks promising. David Tubb is using it with reported good result.
Moly in my application does allow for velocity increases of around 100fps, reduced pressure signs at higher powder charges and easier cleaning. I guess in my experience moly at least gave me a mental boost of confidence. I have not experienced any of the bad stuff that some tout about moly like corrosion in the barrel. However it must be noted that you cannot switch back to nekid bullets after using moly without completely removing the moly from the barrel. There is also a "settling in" period of maybe 20 shots when moly is used the first time. These shots are depositing moly in the barrel. I also "pre treat" my barrels with a mixture of Denatured Alchohol and moly powder mixed on a patch a few minutes prior to a range session.
Good shooting.
