OK, you may be rite but the jackets on FMJ are harder than copper jackets on premium hunting ammo which common sense tells me would wear more on my barrel and rifling but that being said why would anyone site in their fine bolt action hunting rifle with FMJ when in most states it's illegal to hunt with and unethical to shoot game with. Now yes it's their rifle and they can do what they want with it but to me it does'nt make any sense and I would recomend not doing it. Also your first two sentences in your above post are conflicting but lets say no country does coatings anymore but bubba from down the street has some old Wolf coated with lacquer and sells it to the original poster and he gums up his fine bolt action hunting rifle, I was just trying to give the best advise as I see it.
