Hey Dave, I can almost bet that the reel lube would have graphite in it whereas the gun lube will not. The graphite will enhance the adhesion of the oils to the gears in your reel and increase the coefficients of any other polymeres in the base of the oil.
You probably know that graphite is a "no no" on a gun or rifle barrel. The barrels are open to the elements and can collect dust. The dust over time can lead to pitting of the barrels or even worse. Dangerous discharges and failure of the rounds being fired through the barrels. There is already a high amoung of friction in the barrel upon discharge. Dust in the barresl will increase this friction.
