I bought a Winchester Super X3 a few weeks ago for clays and have been shooting about 150-250 rounds through it per week. This is my first autoloader and I don't know much about what kind of oil/lube I should be using on the bolt and rails. The manual is extremely vague in just saying "Apply gun lube and wipe away excess...". I normally use RemOil on my XD, but for some reason I just don't feel very comfortable using it on my SX3. I tried spraying the rails and bolt with RemOil and wiping away excess, but it doesn't seem to reduce friction very much when cycling the bolt by hand. So I feel like after a few hundred rounds I would be shooting a bone dry gun. (Maybe it's all just in my head?)
Anyway, what kind of oil/lube do you guys use on your autoloaders when you know you'll be shooting a large amount of rounds before cleaning? Should I maybe just try spraying the bolt/rails with RemOil and not wiping it away?
Thanks in advance for the responses.
