I clean my guns thoroughly after every time I shoot them, including removing and cleaning the nipples. Under those conditions I have never had a problem using Teflon tape The tape hasn't melted and the nipples come out easily. Before I started using Teflon tape I used a good anti-seize compound, which I still use on the cylinder pins of my revolvers rather than lubricant. It makes the cylinder pins much easier to remove after a lengthy practice session. Either solution will work if you clean after every shooting session, I've just found the tape more convenient.
