I too was really skepticle of the white tape when I first started using it, but it is holding up just fine to all the torture I put it through.

This new Omega does have what i would describe as a tight BP - the pink tape will not go in satisfactorily at all even when Iswitched to white it was a bit iffy... so I decided to polish the BP. I put someJB's on some steel wool (0000) wrapped the BP up in the steel wool and while gripping the steel wool and BP tightly in my hand I turned the BP with a ratchet and socket for several dozen turns. This really cleaned the plug up and polished it... it was a dream to putback into the rifle and with tape (white) it nows screws in with very little effort with out tearing or balling the tape...
