Since I got out of serious muzzleloading rifle competition I don't use it much anymore. I find there are better alternatives to everything you may want to use it for, except water displacement.
When at a several day long m/l shoot where I'd shoot all day in different events, day after day, I'd soak the bore with WD-40 (Water Displacing - Formula #40) to drive out every vestige of moisture, keeping the bore and rifling safe until a thorough cleaning was done at the end of the shoot.
WD-40 excels at displacing water, that's what it was designed to do.
