Your barrel shouldn' t have anything in it when hunting. If it is oiled when you put your powder down it, your powder will get soaked with the oil. Barrel butter, you shouldn' t be using that either as far as I' m concerned. It' s more of a bullet lube, it is not a rust stopper.

To clean you ML you can use either just good ole plain hot soapy water, or some type of blackpowder cleaner. When hunting, I use cabela' s ML cleaner since hot water is a pain in camp. When at home, I use the soapy water.
