What is slickest bolt lube that stays put?

maxpower

I have sometimes had the bolt on my new Panda get a bit sticky to pull back (not sticky extraction from hot loads) , no doubt due to the dusty conditions at my range. The lube I have is super slick when I first put it on but I have to apply it regularly to keep it slippin. I was wondering if you had any recommendations for a bolt body lube that would stay put and stay slippery for a while?
How about bolt lug lube, is there anything that stands out? Not that I think I have an issue with sticky lugs.
 
I started using Shooters Choice, red stuff in a syringe, when they first came out with it and was satisfied. About a year ago I grabbed some TW25 because it was handy and I was lazy. Boy that stuff is slippery and hangs in there. Doesn't attract and hold the dirt like the red stuff when applied sparingly. I'll keep playing with it to really give it the works. The downside of the stuff is it's not cheap.
 
Just put a very small amount of very light oil on the bolt body. I use MilTec but sewing machine oil will work too. Wipe it clean before putting oil on each time. You still need grease on the back edges of the lugs. Ask Kelbly which grease they recommend. On account of I forget what I have in the syringe.
 
Another vote for TW25 here.

Just don't think more is better when a little's good enough!

On a bolt body wipe a little on then even it out with a clean patch & allow some time for it to air-dry.
 
Motorkote Hyper Lube for the bolt, doesn't matter who's grease for the lugs, as long as you put grease on them between relays it really doesn't matter. Nobody is going to tell me one grease is better than the other without getting into having an independent lab do a test on each of them.
