It seems we had this dicussion several years ago and you and I were in the minority then and still might be today. I converted to your teflon thoughts along time ago and have never found the need to change. I stole an idea from you and a thought from Toby about the wrapping of the breech plug and applied it to my Remingtons and A&H's. I do snug them up to try to create a gas seal at the face of the breech plug and the rear of the barrel. With the Remington's I have shot up to 40 round of 100 grains of t7-2f and never touched the breech plug until I get home. When I remove it, if I remove it carefully enough most times I could use the teflon a second time - all the blow back has been stopped before reaching the threads. I am not quite as lucky with the A&H's I do get blow-back into the first three threads after 20 to 30 rounds, but not enough to freeze the plug. I have this theory and seems to work for me. Thanks for your thoughts and advice.
