Bore Butter...

... has a purpose, but rust preventative is not one of them. It works well as a patch lube or to help season a barrel between shots, but that's about it.

The inside of C&B barrels are notoriously rusty. Simply their nature. After the barrel is cleaned and dried like you said above, run a patch with Ballistol or Kano-Kroil down the barrel before storage. When you get it back out again, run a couple dry patches and fire a cap before loading to blow out any oil that might have settled in the nipple. Load and fire. This should solve the issue.

All the best,

Birch
