I've been shooting the .22 ATP King's in my Panthera. I've noticed after ~100 rounds or so that chambering the slugs becomes more difficult. I think I've determined it's because the breach o-ring dries out, even the probe alone is more difficult to close. Lubing that oring fixes the issue for another ~100 rounds. I use Krytox gpl 205.
Anyone else experienced this? Any ideas other than periodic lubing of that oring?
I've noticed the slugs are not really lubed from the factory. I don't usually do anything special regarding washing or lubing slugs. Maybe this is an exception? An email back from Altaros said they haven't seen this problem, but their M24 barrel does not have a breach oring.
