I have some sitting around. For some reason I'm thinking it was 70nm but I can't think of why I would have paid the extra for it when 5 micron would be just as good.

Ironic timing...I just went in with some other shooters to buy some. Looks like cocaine (white, powdery), and when packed in a small ziplock, even moreso. Lighter than powdered sugar, and gets airborne very easily. I have a prescription bottle with 25 6mm bullets and a tablespoon of the stuff rattling around my tumbler as I type. They come out with excessive coating, which wipes off with a paper towel...then they're pretty slick, but you can't tell as easily as moly, as the stuff is invisible. Did chrony testing with "naked" bullets a couple weeks ago...will now load these and see if there's a difference. The ultimate solution (which I haven't taken yet), is to forget coating the bullets, and treat the barrel instead. Salt Bath Nitriding will take a normal steel barrel and make in extraordinarily hard, and friction resistant. Makes stainless steel look like it was freshly blued. There's a whole bunch of writeups on 6mmbr.com about it...
