Interesting I never would have thought of that. I just went with the lithium because the gunmaker suggested it and I don't get a build-up with it. I even use it on my Savage .22 and I get a lot less gunk and can shoot more without cleaning.

Maybe I'm off base, but carbon from the direct impingement system mixed with grease would seem to make a lapping compound. Since lithium grease is actually petroleum with lithium as a thickener it would seem to me that the grease, carbon and heat from rapid fire would make asphalt, just like in a muzzle loader that is using petroleum lubricants.
