Personally I think having it all the way in keeps both the breech plug and the "shelf" (new term to me) from erroding. I have always used the grease but one of these days I am going to use the tape, not because the mess bothers me so much, but because I feel it creates a better seal between the barrel and the plug.
I have never heard the statistic that 75 percent of the shooters loosen the plug a bit after tightening it, (nor do I know how one would get that number), but I don't think it is the right thing to do.
For me triple 7 seems to make the plugs come out the hardest.

You just did it the other night about the guy shooting powerbelts. You know EXACTLY what i'm talking about. I got your number as well. Again, say what you want to me i don't care.

You know Grouse, here is something for you to think about. During the time you were banned we didn't have any of this crap on here and the day you came back it starts again.
Coincidence? I don't think so.

I do mine exactly the same way. Two finger tight with the tool that came with the rifle.
Only thing I can add is that the threads and shelf need to be completely clean. SabotLoader taught me that one.
I also only use anti-seize. I don't like the extra tightness the tape seems to add to the plug. Tom.
