The 107 SMK IMHO is THE bullet for the Grendel. I'm not a moly guy, but I'd be tickled pink to find 'em!

I just bought 1,000 and plan on testing. No real desire for Moly and may try to reduce some of the factory coating. Biggest gripes in the past regarding moly seemed to be around attracting moisture, cleaning and load adjustments. all pretty manageable. I've shot some in the past without any issues but mostly used HBN at the time. Haven't really messed with any of it in a few years.
In these times you have to make do I guess.

Along with the unexpected barrel damage from attracting moisture. If you use them be ready to clean well!
I heeded all of the negative things that I read, and never used Moly.

some more complete information on Moly in the link below. I have removed the majority of the coating, but I'm pretty sure that It would take a considerable effort to remove it all.

I have used it in the past, without any damage or pitting to barrels, but it did require a lot of cleaning. With the majority of the coating removed it should reduce some of the risk and cleaning. Like I said, I've never had any damage in the past and clean well and am not overly worried. Barrels are replaceable and wear over time anyway.
