This is a bad idea! If your air-rifle is rated to 11.98ft.-lb.'s, you
will
break the law by using moly. You will get higher velocity from the same
pellet,
and therefore a higher M.E., due to the way an air-rifle works. Unlike a
powder
which needs the back-pressure to build and burn the powder fully and
fast, the
air-rifle has an amount of air power, and it all goes to the pellet,
whether it is
heavy or light. By reducing the friction dramatically, you run the risk
of this saved
energy going into moving the pellet, and hence increasing the power.

Nigel,
I read this post with great interest. I appreciate the problem with
rifles rated close to the legal limit, but I can see an application of
this in my Feinwerkbau 300S, which achieves under 600 ft/sec muzzle
velocity and a increase there would be useful.
But how does one apply moly to pellets and what kind of moly. I am
also wondering whether it would be O.K. to lubricate the piston with
moly - instructions state that no lubrication should be used.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
