I use a waterproof bearing grease I have for repacking bicycle wheel bearings, but that's just because I have a big tube of it.

I stopped using it on handguns because I find grease gets very sticky in the cold and I get lots of failures to feed because it slows the slide when the temp gets down below 50 or so.

I only use grease on the Garand now and Eezox on handguns.
