At the range, do NOT use oil between shots. Only use oil to store the rifle. Swab with a Windex patch, run one or two dry patches to dry the bore, reload, shoot, repeat.

Sounds to my like you're way overthinking this. Shooting a ML isn't like putting a rocket into orbit. It's really pretty simple. Too bad you don't have anyone to go with you to just demonstrate this to you. That would be the best way. If you lived anywhere close to me, I'd gladly take you out and show you.
