It is not often that I disagree with cayugas but this is one of those cases. The breech plug is designed to the seal the front of the breech plug with the lip inside the barrel at the end of the BP threads. If you obtain a seal here you do not have to worry about blow back getting back into the threads of you breech plug or the subsequent gas cutting that will occur over time.

I run my breech plug in till it stops then I snug it up against the barrel flange to squeeze (not to tight to cut the tape)the teflon tape - I do not use any grease at all. Since I started this procedure I have never had any type stuck brech plugs and I get no blow coming back into the threads. Learning how to seal a BP is important and I believe it is somewhat of a safety factor as we are now hearing about more Omega/Encore flash channels eroding away for gas cutting.






Here is an example of a breech plug done the the way I described...
