Re: What brand of lube do you reccomended for bolt lug
I use CLP or Remington oil in a pinch. I've found that the Rem oil is really thin and doesn't hold up as long as CLP.

Pro Gold. It is a tube I bought for 1911 slide rails. Works well and I put a dab on the lugs about every range trip.

Re: What brand of lube do you reccomended for bolt lug
Molybdenum based dry film lubricant on all load bearing surfaces, light coat of hoppes on bolt body left to sit then wiped dry.
Originally used moly film lube on my m249 action guide rails in Iraq, when we had no CLP available but a crap load of moly lube for humvee door hinges. discovered it works pretty well on almost anything.
works very well on my 1911 rails.

I was using "tetra" but I stopped once i saw that it was actually causing rust. I just got some "brownells action lube plus" but I haven't had it long enough to form an opinion yet.

+1 to this.
If you like, you can also use Shooters Choice Red Gun Grease, no oil on the bolt though.
As long as the grease is a synthetic high pressure, high temp grease you'll be GTG.

Re: What brand of lube do you reccomended for bolt lug
Some people may disagree on this, but I have a tube of "Sleek". It's a silicone base lube made for high end paintball guns (I was on a team a few yrs ago). I've been using it for almost a year. It doesn't attract any noticeable amount of dirt while shooting/hunting and keeps the action running smooth. It doesn't get thick either in the cold.

It isn't like the lugs are inaccessible. Any load bearing grease works fine. When it gets dirty, clean and reapply. Don't over think it.

Same here.
But don't apply the grease direct. I rub the Tetra grease on my finger until it is clear then apply lightly to the lugs.

Really? Anybody else seen this? What idea what component in the grease could be causing the rust?
Was the metal clean, dry and free from other possible contaminants when you applied the grease?
