ptfe dry lube

Anyone out there use a PTFE lubricant for gun care, reloading, bore lube?
I have heard I think the brand is mil-com tm-25 ptfe dry lube spray for bolts, slides even brass when sizing them, just wondering if anyone is using some sort of PTFE and actual results. Does it gum up or build up more carbon or does it make cleaning easier?
Anyone use it as a lube in the barrel for first fouling shot?

There is also PTFE grease that is suppose to be good on bolts lugs.

I am. I use a product from the bicycle shop called "dry chain lube". I first started using it on my Browning Gold autoloading shotgun, which, if you have one, you know why. Then I started using it on my varmint rifles and loved it for that too.

About the only guns I don't use it on these days are the Garand, the M1A, and the M1 Carbine. I use it on my FALs, AKs, self loading handguns, and, of course, my bolt actions.

It goes on wet and the carrier evaporates, leaving the PTFE behind.
