James,
There is no special way to clean your barrel after shooting the lubalox coated bullets. Treat them the same as you would copper jacketed bullets. Lubalox is not a moly coating, as widely believed. You can go to Winchester's website and verify for yourself. I have been shooting them for years, and have not had a problem. If interested, I could give you some of my loads to save you some time and money.

What is the difference between Lubalox and Moly Coating?

Lubalox Coating:
- Black oxide
- First used in early 1990
- Does not increase diameter of bullet
- Used on Accubond CT®, Ballistic Silvertip®, E-tip and XP3® product lines
- Does not harm barrel
- Reduces barrel fouling
- Does not require barrel "seasoning"
Hope this helps.

Moly Coating:
- Molybdenum Disulfide
- First used in late 1990
- Increases diameter of bullet
- Was used on part or all of Power-Point® Plus, Partition Gold® Rifle, and one Hornet SKU
- Did not harm barrel
- For optimum performance barrel "seasoning" was required
- Could cause accuracy problems in some guns
