Long ago I adopted a cleaning regime which require and exterior oil cloth wipe down in the field.
When home or to the hotel room Followed by scrubbing with a stiff bore brush with hoppes and then patching with hoppes until clean, lastly then patched with eesox and an exterior wipe down.
I then patch again with hoppes until clean then eesox for the next two days.
It is probably over kill but I am paranoid and most of my old guns have some pitting that sweats carbon.
I store all my guns barrels down because I am generous with oil coating the bore
I find that even after my cleaning is complete a month later there is often a little crud in the barrels under the oil.
