    Gun slick brand graphite grease on the sear surface. It definately reduces trigger pull. I had a tuned trigger that would always pass tech inpection at the Camp Perry National Championships. I put a pin head worth of gun slick on the hammer and sear surface, and I failed the trigger inspection big time. I wiped it off with a "Q" tip that had WD-40 sprayed on it, and passed the trigger certtification with no other adjustment. You use very little, that tiny tube has lasted me about 25 years so far.

    Before that I used Lubriplate white grease just as per the Armorers manual. It seemed to work fine also, but never was slick enough to cause me to fail tech inspection.

    Lubriplate

    This is a good choice, as is white Lithium (which is a little easier to find). I saw graphite mentioned earlier, and graphite is a good choice if youre gonna keep your lower DRY. I would use graphite if extreme cold was a concern or if I had some pretty delicate parts in my trigger. Ive found Lithium and Lubriplate to be effective in actions, also. They dont cook off like fine oils and sit there, even if the gun sits upright for a year.
