I do not lube a bore after cleaning, I always leave dry, until I'm reading the gun to shoot again.
BA, if you do that down heah' with even a squeaky clean m/l barrel that leaves a patch pure white, you won't HAVE a decent bore to shoot when you decide to shoot again. Glad the weather conditions where you are allow that, must be nice.

The last thing in this world I want to do is coat a clean bore wit anything that covers the bore, anywhere in this world.
The U.S. Gov did this for years but no longer anyway not since the late 1950's. The reason is the vapor phase that all metal used in firearms under goes.
Even for long term storage they have no coatings on the firearms, only coverings and dry silica treated cardboard tube in the bore. Sealed in plastic.
Ever wonder why all the WW1, WW2 bores that were packed with cosmoline are so dark?
