Combined technologies

Justjump
OK I've been reloading since the chinese made gunpowder but I'm slow to accept new technology. To make a long story longer, here it is. Got a 700 BDL in 300RUM for Christmas, so I'm looking at some heavier than usual bullets and I find combined technologies and do some reading and think, Hmmm these sound like they might be nice. I was in the process of ordering some different weights in several calibers (30 243 7mm and 338) While doing this I stumble on some interesting info and do some more looking. Seems that people that like them, shot only them in any given rifle. I assume the coating is some kind of molybdenium Dissulfide <SP>. There seems to be a problem with (moly) fouling, Even to the point that it destroys accuracy when changing to conventional bullets that were previously very accurate. Any thoughts or experience would be helpful. I cant really dedicate a rifle to only one bullet style forever (I'm prone to messing with a good thing) Thanks in advance

    I use them for .308, work good, I never shot any other bullet in this rifle, as it does have an effect on it!

    Consider Accu-bonds for 300RUM, I have had great luck with them, (180 gr)

    Justjump,

    It is NOT a moly coating but is named Lubalox which is a proprietary coating developed by Winchester and applied to Nosler bullets then sold under the Combined Technology name. Generally speaking, it is a friction reducing polymer which is not supposed to create any build up in your barrel. The only drawback that I see is the inflated price that the manufacturer charges. I've shot some in tests for various reasons but I don't choose to afford these given the volume of shooting that I do.

    Best.

    I've only used these in one rifle (.300 win. mag.) but they worked VERY well.

    Thanks guys. I went with the accubonds in 3 weights in 4 calibers. Very little of my experience is with the big high pressure stuff.

    You'll be happy with the accu-bonds. They are very accurate and they hold together well.

    Do stick to premium bullets, though. Your UltraMangle'um isn't compatible with common cup-and-core bullets unless you load it down to speeds those bullets are designed for. The price you pay for extreme performance is the cost of premium components.
