My routine: after cleaning store the rifle barrel down on top of some cloth rags for 3 days. Run dry patch, if it has rust coloring clean again. Repeat process until dry patch comes out clean.
At the range. Clean barrel with 90% alcohol patch, clean with dry patch, fire one percussion cap without powder.
Always works for me. TC Hawkins .50 cal rifle.
