I just received 500 Factory Second bullets from Midway. They are Moly Coated. I have no experience with Moly Coated bullets and am trying to gain some insight.

After reading this: http://www.mssblog.com/2018/10/19/reloaders-corner-what-happened-to-moly-coated-bullets/ I am wondering if I should just clean them off and use them like normal. Cleaning would likely consist of wiping them off with a paper towel then tumbling them for a bit. I'm sure there would still be some coating on them but they would be much cleaner than they are in the box.

FWIW: these are Factory Second 140gr .264 Deep Curl bullets (sticker on box). I plan to shoot them in my 6.5CM using RL-16 and a starting load for HotCore bullets and work up. Any advise welcome. Thanks.
