After shooting I just clean with T/C pre soaked patches and clean until the patch shows no corrosion etc
As a suggestion, since you are shooting BH powder I would suggest you not use the TC pre-soaked patches to clean with, they are really ment for sub powders. Granted BH is a sub but it is really a smokeless powder and should be cleaned as you might clean a centerfire rifle.

I believe Montona X-treme makes a great line of products to take care of your bore, solvents and bore protection.

At the point that I am going to store a rifle for an extended time I do use Montana X-treme Bore Conditioner. The only difference is for long term storage I will use a fairly wet patch and leave the excess in the bore. In a normal situation I use a lightly oiled patch, followed by a dry patch. A little bit of the BC oil goes miles...

1/8" drill bit turned by hand. I glue mine in a piece of wood dowel.
