I just use whatever high pressure chassis grease with moly that I have in the garage.

Anything that is synthetic and low/high operating temperature range compatible with our application will work well.

I use STOS by Ponsness Warren.

CV joint grease, high Moly content available at any true auto parts store or cam shaft grease used when installing a new cam.

I have no idea what the best grease is for guns, I use Lucas and a few others. If you ask me what the best smelling grease is I vote weapons shield, pretty good grease too. Even my wife notices when I have the lid off.

I've been using Mil-comm's TW25B for several years now. Like it a lot.

Starting out I bought a couple of their small closable syringes. When those ran low I bought their 4 oz tube (linked above) for refilling the smaller applicators that live in my range and cleaning kits.

This is exactly what I use and what a few great shooters I know use. It doesn’t smell bad, wipes off fingers easily, and seems to stay in place for entire strings, even at 100F shooting temps. It’s available on Amazon and not too expensive.

Bolt lube is not a suitable substitute for bolt grease that should be applied to the lugs before each string.

I've used STP for years. Doesn't wipe off like grease does. Stays on all day most days.

Thank you
I should look into that. I suppose the reason I don’t typically use grease is that I’m not parcel to sticky or tacky lubes, I’m looking for smooth bolt operation for several strings.

Mobil1 bearing grease on the lugs, Hobo oil on the bolt body very sparingly.

I have been using Mobil 1red synthetic grease for a years. It seems to do the job. One can will last two lifetimes.

I would advise against any grease with Moly, the moly particles are 5 micron and hard enough to be abrasive and wear away the metal, you swill possibly be continuously lapping your lugs. This is why you never use moly on bearings or u-joints. (Slip yokes would be a good place to use moly.) I was also told that a grease that is tacky, as in stringing is not advisable. Tacky is a sign of a grease that the particles are attracted to itself, you want a grease with adhesion properties, one that resist being wiped off. I like Mobil 28 Aviation grease, it's clay based vers a lithium soap based. (I got educated by a Shell lube expert when I asked about what grease would work best on bolts.)

I've been using this stuff for a long time. There's still a few untouched syringes somewhere in the basement. Nothing's galled yet.
