No I don't agree. The same site (which is DSX's American distributor's site rather than the manufacturer's) says:Pete wrote:From the DSX website:
"DSX has five major benefits: (1) it is superior in reducing friction – far better than other known “lubricants” thus causing significant reductions of surface wear and allowing major decreases in operating temperatures."
If it reduces friction, then it really should not be applied in a rifle chamber.
Where it might be of benefit is in the bolt lug raceways and the receiver.

"Applying the Extreme Pressure Lube to the chamber assists in cold weather conditions to release spent cartridges (see below)."
Why would a reduction in friction in the chamber be a problem if you have a block/lugs/boltface or whatever holding the case in place? DSX doesn't stop the brass from making an effective seal, it simply makes the cartridge easier to extract. Surely that has to be a good thing, especially if tolerances are tight or your rifle has a problem chamber.
