Yesterday it was 32* when I arrived for our club shoot.  That is very cold for our area.  My sense of cold may bot be relevant. 

I use Ballistol and water 5:1 for the majority of my shooting.  Soak the strips, wring out, let dry.  The patches are not oily.  This procedure shrank my groups quite a bit.  I do run a damp swab between shots for bore condition consistency.  I bet it would work great for cold weather in a ball block.  It would not attract dirt or make a mess.

The only problem might come with the damp patch, unless that was windshield washer antifreeze or alcohol of some sort.
