arbor grease

I just use my homemade Bore Butter. Works well enough for me and cleans up a lot easier than petroleum products.

Conventional petroleum products don't work well with bp anyway. You should either use non-petroleum or synthetic products. Most products change their consistency pretty easy whereas the synthetics maintain theirs with a rather wide temperature range. That's the main reason you can pack the frame and keep the action lubed and protected and it allows you to forget about cleaning the action every time you clean the revolver to maybe once a year.

How about trying some silicone grease? It is very thin and very slippery. I've used it on a vintage Singer model 201 sewing machines gears with success.

Ok, you're shooting a heat generating device and you're using a "very" thin grease to start with so will it get even thiner as it warms up? What kind of viscosity range does it have? The grease needs to "hold" fouling instead of it running out and making a mess . . . slippery guns can be dangerous!!
As I've stated many many times, folks that shoot these things in competition have used Mobil1 for decades and it seems great to me . . . I use it, never had a problem with it . . . I definitely don't want a thin lube/ fouling barrier. Something that can take the heat and not make a mess.
