Default Bore Butter causes rust??

Someone on another post replied to my suggestion to use Bore Butter. The person said it had caused their firearm to rust. Has anyone else had this problem? I really don't see how it could cause rust, and have used it for awhile without seeing any signs of rust.

What do you use when cleaning your blackpowder rifle? I use T/C No. 13 cleaner wipe all of the dirt out. Switch to a dry patch and swab with three of them. Next, I use the Bore Butter only once down the barrel. Then swab again with two dry patches.

Last year I shot my new muzzleloader about 30 times and used this procedure. Afterwords, I stored it for 10 months before shooting it again, and there was no signs of rust. BTW, I have a nickel barreled muzzleloader; don't know if that would make a difference.
