The squeeze bottle he uses is identical to a ‘puffer’ bottle of powdered graphite that I’ve had for years (a little goes a very long way) – very slippery, but messy.
I’ve never seen it used to lubricate bags though. Down my way, baby powder is the norm.

Wonder what that was he had in the bottle used on the front rest

If I may, there are several things worth observing on the video of Tony Boyer shooting, besides how he shoots free recoil. The cartridges in the white loading block are undoubtedly reserved for his record shots, while the others are used as sighters. If you pay some attention to the flags that you can see, and correlate them to when he shoots, and that he replaces a round that he had taken from his record block, you can figure out that he probably changed his mind about what would have been his first record shot, went to the sighter, then replaced the round that he had taken from his record block, all of this to help decide what condition to start his group in. You may also notice that he seems to prefer a slight condition to one where some of the flags are motionless. A serious shooter would be well advised to watch this video several times, looking at different details each time. For instance, you may notice that when he opens his bolt, that he does so in a manner designed not to rock the rifle on the front bag.
