First, WD-40 is one of the best products I know to prevent rust. Not so much for lubrication however. Secondly, the reason any gun metal oxidizes is improper cleaning after use. I've scrubbed my guns with Hoppes No. 9, bronze brush, and clean patches after every use and have never had a bit of rust.
"bore snakes" etc. and other quickie methods are NOT cleaning a gun.
Finally, priming might be a culprit. If you are using import primers, try switching to US make. However, I shoot thousands of Fiocchi and Nobel primers with no problems. I dislike Cheddites however.
