Thread: Grease not oil on bolt actions?

What temperatures/powder/primer?

I thought that only happened in well below zero temps (-20) etc




I spray everything with Inox. a few pull throughs so the barrel doesn't bulge and I use the end of the pull through on the bolt face so it's dry. Dust is easy to get rid of. Rust not so much
