2 years here with SL's tape method.
As many as 20 shots with one of my Whites with T7 with no sticking.

Really like the post with the pics! Thanks. I've never had any BP issues with my Omega. Maybe I'm lucky. I think I'll try the tape anyway just because it's fun to play!

Great idea... I have only had my breach "stick" once after hunting a couple of days in the rain...
I will try the tape this season too.

I use Gorilla Grease and I dont tighten it REAL tight
After every shooting session the BP gets cleaned and relubbed.
TC makes two tools that I have for my Encore,1 is a Barrel thread cleaner and the other looks like a battery terminal cleaner,it's round with a wire brush inside.I screw the BP in and out a few times and it is spotless.If you use grease make sure you lube the threads inside the barrel as well as the BP.I use a lot and screw it in and out a few times to make sure it is all coated then clean the excess.
Even if I were not going to clean the gun(which Doesn't happen but could)I back out the BP and them retighten just to make sure it's not siezed

I have no love for T/C Breech plug grease at all. I had the Black Diamond stick twice, and the CVA Staghorn stick once using their grease. I use that to grease things NON Muzzleloader now. I changed over to CVA Slick Breech plug and nipple grease for the longest time. And that stuff works excellent. Never a problem. Then they up and changed the forumla. While it still worked, it was a PITA to work with. So I went to tape. But never trusted just the tape. I then tape and add my little coat of Slick 50 One Grease, and they come out smooth as silk.
