What greese do you use on you bolt lugs? I’ve always used a light coat of oil but was told over the weekend it should only be greese by an instructor . Thoughts?
 
Read the instruction manual that came with your gun. If you do not have access to a manual, call the manufacturer. All guns are different. The instruction manual for a RPR calls for grease on the lugs. Other actions call for light oil. You need to be aware of anything that can drip down into the trigger.

I use Shooter's Choice which has worked well for me along with Tetra white lithium as well, neither has shown to be better. Currently running the SC. Only on the bolt lugs. Nothing anywhere else unless it's in the threads to prevent galling.

Make sure the watery runny lubricant doesn't get into your trigger.
 
Out of my lane here. Could you link something on amazon that performs well and is affordable?

I am fairly certain the grease Kelblys sends in the syringe with thier actions is Pro-Long EP-2 but before I owned a couple of thier actions I was using LUCAS red and tacky and Lucas X-Treme EP-2 since I allways had it on hand.
That's what I have allways used on the drive line and steering components on my jeep, a little goes a long ways and it stays put.
 
I started using RyDol's Pressure Grease after I received a can of it with my JP LRP-07 (for the trigger). It ended up working really well. I put just a touch on the lugs of my TL3. If you guys haven't been to RyDol's website, go take a look. They have a lot of stuff that is shooting related: polysonic bullet treatments, HBN, solvents, etc...
 
Sig recommended TW25B for the slide rails on my P226, and now I use it for all my pistols without any issues. Even the Glock factory armorers with their “You’re over lubricating the gun” mantra seemed pleased with this grease. It’s become my “Go To” grease for pistols and bolt guns in the proper places.
AR15’s get Slip 2000 EWL or CLP.
