last year i bought a big tube of castrol marine grease cost about $2.50 more grease than all of us could use in a year its the best stuff i have ever used. My encore plug would stick with a full lube of the tc lubewith only a finger tighten, when i used the marine grease it came right out with just the socket, it works even better in my omega. Our reg gun season starts sat. i can hardly wait to bust a cap,its black powder all the way for me this year unless i go to the lakebed. The only reason i would take my 270 there is because i saw a huge buck crossing in the wide open about 250 or 300 yards but even then i don't like shooting out there because you can't see on the other side of the lakebed you just have to let it get to where you can see bank on the other side. And shooting without a backstop is taboo.
