I wouldn't be worried about any damage. Clean the grease out/off of whatever surfaces it may be on, if it hasn't already been blown off by shooting, and use proper lubricant next time.

I wouldn't worry. If you're still concerned, grab a chamber brush and scrub away for a little bit.

Any pressure issues you may have had are now behind you. Clean it and go shoot it. You're gtg.

To be honest you still have a lot to learn, but you are doing good, keep at it. BTW, there are several places on the AR platform where grease can be used, and it can work better than oil. Read in the cleaning and maintenance section.

Thanks! There's a lot to learn. I just hate finding out I've done something that could hurt my weapon.

I have used a very thin coating of wheel bearing (high temp) grease on my lugs for a long time. No problem, in fact the locking lugs still look new after many rounds. However, I don't let it get in the chamber.

However, I don't let it get in the chamber. Right, I'm not sure what I was thinking. I'm guessing there was some grease on the feed ramps which may have been picked up by the rounds as they were chambered. Rookie mistake, hopefully it doesn't cost me. |

I don't mean to keep this thread unnecessarily long but if overpressure occurs from grease in the chamber, is that overpressure occurring in the chamber itself or does the pressure force go backwards into the face of the bolt?

AFAIK greasing a round does not increase chamber pressure.
It can raise backthrust on the bolt to proof round territory. Unless you got a crap bolt I don’t see 60 rounds with a little grease on them being a problem. |

50,000 psi should clean it out for you :)
