I got some Hornady seconds sometime back, and planned to coat them with moly. They were dirty and nasty. I sloshed them around in some water with dish soap, rinsed them, then dried them in a towel, then tumbled them in some new, clean corncob media for some hours. They looked pretty, and they coated nicely.
I've tried to remove moly before, using the same method of soapy water, rinse, dry, then tumble in a bit of corn cob media. It didn't get all the moly off, but it got nearly all of it off. I loaded some up with some of the same bullet that had never been moly'd. I couldn't see any distinction in velocity nor impact between the two. These were Nosler 168gr E-tips in a 30-06 using Hunter powder.
