Forget Bore Butter, seasoning barrels, and primers causing problems and brushes need to go. The best barrel cleaner is water.
I have been shooting M/L since 1974 and do not have rust in my barrels.
Use tap water at room temperature. hot water causes "FLASH" rust.
Flush the barrel with tepid water and dish water soap until clean. After cleaning, swab the barrel with patches until dry, check patches on your lips for moisture. Plug the nipple with finger or something and pour alcohol down the barrel and swish back and forth with your finger plugging the end of the barrel to remove any remaining water. Swab the barrel with patches until dry, check patches patches on your lips for moisture, continue until dry.
Swab the barrel with 3 in 1 oil or Barricade.
You will not have rust.
Barrels need oil or RIG to protect them, they are not skillets.
