That wouldn't have held up very well for heavy use.

Exactly. For a precision bolt gun it should be fine. But the first thing most folks wanna do once they get their can, in my experience, is sling a little bit of lead. Having literally 30 rounds soften the loctite to the point of unthreading and a baffle strike is just not worth it for me. Especially with this price on Rocksett. I paid more than $15 shipped for two little single-use packages of rocksett from AAC.

Exactly. You move past the break torque pretty quick....and the prevail torque temp is not much past that.

Red Loctite is a great way to shoot your can off your gun or get a baffle strike. Only reason I would consider it would be on a direct-thread can that has ALSO been torqued properly.

10 seconds with the MAPP torch and off she comes when needed. I could see that being an option. But essentially only that scenario, within the context of centerfire rifle cans.
