This is what I call the best:

I think I remember you told us about that grease in this forum, maybe 10 or 20 years ago, I think you mentioned it was the best grease for trigger sears on M14 pattern rifles. iirc anyway. I haven't use that grease but I remember this stuff as being top of the line for guns.

This is a drift.
I have a utility trailer with bearing buddies. Has not been greased in 12 years. Seldom used. Can I shoot in new grease or do I need to repack ?

You know the answer.

You may need new bearings and races. Corrosion.

Just one thing to throw out there , I've read that some types of grease are not compatible with others . Might want to research that .

I like Lucas red and tacky on anything marine related. It seems to be the gold standard of everyone in the marine industry.

I would repack. 12 years the grease is going to be all dried out.

I knew the answer but I hoped I was wrong.
