I wouldn't put it in dry or you might not be able to get it back out. I've been using this Traditions Breach Plug Anti Seize stick for the past few years on my breech plugs and choke tubes. I've never seen any corrosion or never heard of that happening. Ya learn something new every day. This stuff is like a Chap Stick stick and it's easy to use with no mess. You just rub it on the threads, no fuss, no muss.
