Best Bolt Grease?

My gunsmith recommended the "Benchrite-Super bolt lube" from Sinclair/Brownells for the bolt body.

A little bit on the fingertips applied to the body.

I also use a syringe of bolt grease to put a "dab" on the lugs. Lately, it's been either the "Sinclair" version or TM- bolt grease.

A friend of mine Bob Crone long time 1000 yds benchers and US F-class team member, got me using what he uses. auto high speed grease, the red type. A large tube will last for years. It will fill a syringe 100 time for $5.00

MarkS Tell Bob Joe Salt said Happy new Year! I'm with Donovan on the Pro Gold on the lugs but try Olive Oil on the bolt body!

I've always used an automotive wheel bearing grease. Never had any galling issues stainless or otherwise. Sparingly.
 
Been contemplating a change in the bolt grease department. I figure this will be all over the place but curious what the "Top Guns" are currently using.


Archoil 8300-rated at 1,813,000 PSI, and the lowest coefficient of friction in tribology at 0.003.
