I didn't mention before, but I have always used a moisture displacing agent after drying the bore with patches following cleanup with any of the above mentioned products. If I was competing at a weekend long match where I would be shooting the next day I would leave it at that. But, after the last cleanup of the shoot I would lastly run a patch saturated with RIG down bore a few times. I was pretty AR about my competition rifles, especially the bores, and never found an issue with the three part mix I mentioned.
Actually, if you swab as extensively as I did between shots in a match, I was shown by a national champ back in the '80s that you are not neglecting your rifle, that you plan to shoot the next day, if you simply spray WD-40 down bore until it runs out the nipple. I did this often and never saw any red rust residue on the first patch the next day. My between shot procedure was one wet patch three strokes up and down, a second wet patch three strokes up and down then turn it over and do the same on the reverse side, then a dry patch four strokes up and down. Always the same exact procedure between shots. Accurate roundball shooting is about consistency in every conceivable step of the loading and firing process.
