So i grabbed 3 boxes of 168gr amax today while getting a few supplies. I didnt notice till I got home that 1 of those boxes were moly coated. Is it even worth it to load these or should i just taken them back and exchange them for reg amax's? The little ive read on moly is its more hassle then a short drive to exchange them would be.

Not work the risk of getting your barrel all fouled and and having to go through extra cleaning steps.

I guess I understand the theory behind that, but it doesn't mesh with my limited experience. I shot one box of Black Hills 168gr Moly (found in the back of the safe) in the middle of a range trip a few months ago. I didn't notice a drop off in accuracy or an increase in fouling compared to the non-coated ammo (168gr SMK FGMM and handloads).
