Default RE: teflon tape on breech plug is a necessity

I think I'm going to buy an assortment of tape (white - pink - yellow) and throw the anti-sieze lube away.
The Pursuit likes the yellow tape, but a double wrap of white will work, too. I wrap it so there is an excess at the front of the plug, and the extra tapeseems to blow back and seal the threads in front. With lube the front threads are dirty & burnt looking after shooting. The thread engagement is probably the problem, but the tape cures it easily!
