[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1440070, member: 30902"] Probably but I've always found to be pretty messy. It's basically "anti-seeze" for choke tubes. I've just used the white lube or high pressure/temp automotive grease for decades with great luck. Just put a tiny dab on with a q-tip, work the bolt a few times, wipe off what you can see. Just like oil you want a very thin layer and excess will only attract dust, dirt, and grit. I seriously think we do more damage with over cleaning and lubricating than with infrequent cleaning and lubricating. The only exception to that which I've found are the ultra fast rounds like the .204 and 220 Swift. They are so small and so fast they are very temperamental. My huntin clients and shooting friends refer to the "WildRose Test". "If it runs for WR you know it will run forever because he never cleans his guns". That's the cleaned up version anyhow. In general I run them all until I have a problem such as a drop off of accuracy, then I'll clean the snot out of them, lube them, and start over. This is why everything I have is stainless or stainless and cerakoted. [/QUOTE]
