    it might just work, i wanted to see if a stearate would do the job as well.
    especially since i can get the white lith and moly sticks free
    the b-wax i have to buy but already did so,and i can drive to white label lube [glens house]
    and save shipping on the carnuba red.
    it's just a matter of proportions from then on,but the other ingredient might be a good binder then again so might ground guar husk.
    it's not all about the slippery with lube and i actually don't look for slippery ,if i did i would just use friction reducer, guar husk, mineral oil and parrafin. at least once.
    it's more about curiousity,balance and consistency errrr viscosity and the application we choose to target.

    yes I agree. slippery is, IMO, undesireabe. I actually want a lube with high tack and low viscosity. anything too slippery, would reduce chamber pressure, and not allow proper obturation (IMO). the micro powders have a large variation. you can get some high tmp./high impact items, that would really allow you to get a "hard" coating, without excess lubricity.

    the main purpose for the hard coat, would be to encapsulate the moly. I couldn't think of anything more ideal. a fluid bearing, with moly riding just under it. now that would be very cool, for a rifle. I don't think it would really be much benefit in a pistol (sine the chamber travel is so short).

    the fluid bearing would protect the projectile during obturation and travel through the free bore. then once the fluid bearing spins/burns off, the moly would take over. I think this would keep chamber pressure/obturation up, and provide some extra protection towards the end of the muzzle. all speculation, of course.
