As has been pointed out, the issue is the corrosive salts left as residue from the priming compound in almost all surplus ammo (Swiss excepted), and even some new manufactured eastern european stuff. I have never had a single issue with rust in my Mosins. This is what I do. I use Windex and run maybe 3 or 4 patches through, then one to dry. I then clean with Hoppe's #9 with a brush, then a couple of patches as usual. I use Sweet's 7.62 when I need to get the copper ot. I lube with Break Free. Easy, cheap, and no rust.
