RE: Breech plug lube
You may all think I'm an idiot, but all I have ever used for breech plug lube on my Remington 700 MLS is good ol' Bore Butter or Remington Wonder Lube (same thing), and I have had zero problems with breech plug removal. I like it because, for the most part, I know it will not contaminate the powder and cause possible mis- or hangfires.
