Proper Planing Prevents Piss Poor Performance.......
I also use it on gas blocks if they have set screws. A lot of manufacturers seem to use red Loctite, which while requiring heat to loosen, must work well enough I suppose.
Shooting with a can adds roughly 15 degrees F, PER SHOT.
In 30 rounds, accounting for an ambient temperature of 80 F, one gets perilously close to the 450 F heat rating of red 272 in one single magazine, as far as the heat put into the can and the muzzle device.
Rocksett being flat rated to about 2100 F is a huge improvement in temp rating.
So, for a precision rig, there may not be a difference. But for a defensive or comp rig, there certainly is.

Heres my take on Rocksett and its storage.
A couple years back I Installed 2 diff muzzle devices using 2 diff brand new tubes of rocksett I had on the bench from SF muzzle devices.
A week after I shipped a customer upper out with a BC 51T mount, I got a call saying his BC had started coming loose... I said hmm wtf... We got him taken care of.
About a month later, I got a call from an LE guy who had a silencerco brake I installed, he said it had broken loose too.
After seeing the BC 51T upper in house after the case, I noticed the residue on the threads was not the usual white, but dark grey. Thats not the norm for rocksett as most of us have seen.
When I talked to the LE guy, he said his residue was also dark grey.
After some talks with Flexbar, they said that they dont sell rocksett less than a 55gal drum. The Rocksett is packaged by their customers and then sold. We all know that rocksett breaks down due to oxygen exposure and flexbar indicated to a roughly 1 year shelf life after its first exposure to oxygen.
Knowing that, I would not keep rocksett of any packaging over 6 mon as the first exposure to oxygen is unknown.

Thats good and like i said, this was from a couple years back. I suppose things have changed since then.

No doubt.
Was workiing on an upper today where red Loctite was used to secure the silencerco ASR suppressor mount brake to the barrel.
It was on there really good cold, but 10 seconds with the MAPP gas torch softened it right up and it came of with minimal torque after that.
That wouldn't have held up very well for heavy use.
