Unfortunately, that is not a good test. Just like when using Molly to coat a bullet, the velocity slows down. This is because the bullet slides too easily and doesn't build up enough pressure behind it. It is common to add more grains of powder in order to bring the velocity backup to the uncoated bullets speed. Fouling and barrel wear however is kept to a minimum when using a coating like molly. I would assume that this would work in the same manner.
