I use knight grease. Bought enough years ago to last forever

Slick 50 lithium grease works for me. Don't believe it's made now though. I have only used 1/3 of tube in twenty years, easy cleanup too.
Correction: I went and looked. It's Teflon I believe, not lithium, doesn't really say.

I use knight breech plug grease on all my muzzleloaders. I screw them into the barrel till it stops by hand. I don't putt any torque on them. Never had a problem ever getting them out....ever

I second that. Hand tight, just be cautious of where you place it as it can get messy..

I've been using tape for the last few years and haven't had any problems with it.

I third that hand tight.

Doc told me what he does is once the plug is fully seated to back it off a smidge so it makes it easier to remove. Good or bad not sure, I have mixed thoughts.

For my way of thinking that would potentially give the plug a chance to have a running start at the threads, to build momentum if you will. I stand by the hand tight. A potential leak around where the plug meets the barrel could cause damage??????

My experience, I was having a problem with the striker hitting the primer on my mk-85. It's like the breech plug was in the barrel to deep or the plunger ran out of stroke. I talked to knight and they told me to back the breech plug out a half turn. Problem solved... I've shot that gun that way for years with no issues at all.

Good to know Rod. thank you.

I use FelPro C5A anti seize. It uses both copper and graphite in suspension and is for very high heat applications. A little goes a very long way and I only put it on the first half inch of the breech plug. I only tighten my plugs down to snug. It's a finesse thing but I imagine an inch pound torque wrench would be best.

Anything (light oil, tape, grease, anti-seize) is better than nothing. I’ve tried them all, and they all work well. Best when done every time you clean after shooting.

Tape

 

[earlwb]

Just about anything works. But maybe something that is more organic in nature might be better as it is more or less water soluble and easier to clean. Crisco, lard, animal fat, vegetable oil, etc.

You can use anything table butter margarine I don't care what you use clean the breach plug each time it'll come right out with your finger that's all
