Is there anything in the recesses on the bullet on the left ? Will the black coating come off on your hands ?
Are both the bullets, Moly Coated ?
The ones on ( R-side ), look like the old .. ' Barnes X' line of bullets . I still got a old partial box of 140 grn. 6.5 XLC that are dry film coated .
( L-side ) , are the Lapua D-46 rebate boat-tails .

They look like the D46 but the grain weight doesnt match up.
The D46 should be 185gr.
I remember the old xlc bullets but the coating was blue, pretty sure it was the same as Xylan used on fasteners for saltwater and high corrosion environments.
A little bit of coating will rub on to my hands but not much. Look like graphite but I assumed it was moly coating. I will check the recessed area and post pictures
Are they worth anything or just toss them?
are they a Cal. that you shoot in your rifles , and are short on bullets ?.
also.. if all are Moly coated ? ..
'personally' , I never been to keen on the Moly as it is hydroscopic . I not sure of molybdenum particle micron size ? . but I think once Moly is worked into the Bore, it is there for the barrels lifespan .

I’m not going to put moly in any of my barrels
If you have a caliber you can use them in why toss them.
I have removed moly from bullets running them in a tumbler with treated corn cob media.
Worked fine.
I wouldn’t be able to push them like a jacketed bullet so they arnt much use for me.
Shit i missed the part that the 30 cal were monolithic construction as well.
Someone on here may want them in places that require lead free bullets.
The Finnish d166 bullet was 200gr and either 0.309" or 0.310" depending on vintage.
I can weight some more 30 cal bullets but they all were coming out about the same
Are frangible made from bismuth:
I would hate to post this in the px if it’s not worth anything? I would like to move it though. Just taking up space
