Not a problem for day trips..this was a full week... 
shot a round of trap today used it on the wool wads.
started using deer tallow/bear grease for squirrels in the.36cal last couple of weeks so far so good.
If it would only make them sit still it would be more better!
One question does the ingredient list include water?
http://www.hoppes.com/au_msds.htmlAnswer?
Yes. 60%+
This is why I don't use this stuff or other water based lubes for anything but range use and usually not then.
The various water soluble oil mixes used for cleaning BP have been known for promoting rust since people stated making "moose milk" or what ever back the late 60s or early 70s. One problem is they will not clean fouling any better and usually not as well, as plain water.
One other point anything with alcohol in it surely contains water as well.
Tallow if its properly made will not rust a bore at least not in a week or more being loaded in a clean bore in a dry climate.
But I would boil it 2-3 times in clean water to purify it. I have some I made from beef fat from the butcher that works very well and loads easy. Not sure its as accurate and some of the "non-lubricant" patch lubes though. Need to to more shooting.

INGREDIENT % WT
1 .Water --
2. Hydrotreated Heavy Naphthenic Distillate 10 - 30%
3. Triethanolamine 1-5%
4. Ethyl Alcohol 1-5%
5. Kerosene 1-5%
6. Triazine 0.5 - 1.5%
Triethanolamine is used primarily as an emulsifier and surfactant. It is a common ingredient in formulations used for both industrial and consumer products. The triethanolamine neutralises fatty acids, adjusts and buffers the pH, and solubilises oils and other ingredients that are not completely soluble in water. Some common products in which triethanolamine is found are liquid laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, general cleaners, hand cleaners, polishes, metalworking fluids, paints and printing inks.[3]
In pharmaceutics, triethanolamine is the active ingredient of some ear drops used to treat impacted earwax. It also serves as a pH balancer in many different cosmetic products - ranging from cleansing creams and milks, skin lotions, eye gels, moisturizers, shampoos, shaving foams etc. TEA is a fairly strong base: a 1% solution has a pH of approximately 10, whereas the pH of skin is below pH 7. Cleansing milk/cream emulsions based on TEA are particularly good at removing makeup. Because of its high alkalinity and the possibility that it converts to nitrosamines, its use in cosmetics was once expected to diminish. It is still widely used as of 2009.
TriazineThe best known 1,3,5-triazine derivative is melamine with three amino substituents used in the manufacture of resins. Another triazine extensively used in resins is benzoguanamine. Triazine compounds are often used as the basis for various herbicides such as cyanuric chloride (2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine). Chlorine-substituted triazines are also used as reactive dyes. These compounds react through a chlorine group with hydroxyl groups present in cellulose fibres in nucleophilic substitution, the other triazine positions contain chromophores. Mixtures of Triazines and water are also used to remove H2S from natural gas.
A series of 1,2,4-triazine derivatives known as BTPs have been considered in the liquid-liquid extraction community as possible extractants for use in the advanced nuclear reprocessing of used fuel.[1][2][3][4][5] BTPs are molecules containing a pyridine ring bonded to two 1,2,4-triazin-3-yl groups.
