What is the stuff snipers and competition shooters use to coat their bullets, to prolong the life of the barrel? I completely forgot since I stopped using it a while back, and I'm considering using it again.

moly. and actually most who were using it, have gone away from it. some do still use it though.

Yeah, since you have to "foul" the barrel after cleaning it to put the molybdenum back into the barrel, otherwise your first shot will be off-zero.

I've also heard of bullets being coated with stuff called Lubaloy... my guess is it's the same thing, but I have no idea.

Molydeum Disulfide, handles extreme pressures and temperatures well and is normally formulated in a soap base, inhibits corrosion and is highly water resistant.
