OK guys I like to know what you use for swabbing between shots at the range.
Myself I carry a small spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of Windex and 91% alcohol. One wet and one dry patch.  This is what I use for both inlines and sidelocks. Except my flintlocks. For those I shoot black powder and I swab with a damp spit patch both sides.

I use hoppes #9 plus mixed 50/50 with isopropyl alcohol. It works really well and I’m quite happy with the clean up at the end of the day. Also ballistol mixed with water seems to do a good job too

Straight water. I've found any slick cleaner gives me accuracy fits.
