When shooting the Black Powder I bring a couple of water jugs along mixed with a bit of Murphy's Oil Soap. It doesn't take too many patches wrapped around a nylon brush to get the mud out, rinse and repeat. I use a separate cleaning rod for the final Hoppes and oil. Admittedly a messy endeavor but it's just part of the experience.
When cleaning between shots with BPCR, a 7 to 1 mixture of NAPA cutting oil and water has proven to give excellent results, it's water soluble.
As mike's story reveals, cleanup is an outdoor job.
