After going through learning on my own how my shotguns work and talking with other waterfowlers about what they do to keep their pieces shooting I decided that fancy oils that cost a ton of cash are BS.
I use tranny fluid, sewing machine oil, or power steering fluid on my guns. I put a tablespoon of the oil of choice onto a micro-fiber rag and twist it to get the oil soaked in well. Store it in a jelly jar and keep that with your gun-cleaning kit.
Use that rag to wipe down your shotgun. Should last you a season before it starts stinkin'.
I hunt every day sometimes and keep a couple jars with oily rags stashed. One in my boat and another in the truck door panel. That way I don't have to store my shotgun all wet. Keeps my gun case nice, clean, and dry.
I use Hoppes #9 for cleaning inside the barrel.

You ever look down the barrel after a shell burner day? All sorts of burnt powder everywhere. Funny enough, trap shells leave almost none.

Steel shot powder is very dirty because its a flake powder. Trap shells can vary big time on powders. It boils down to the burn rate of that powder and if it gets a complete burn in the length of your barrel. I'm with Jarbo, since I started loading my guns stay a lot cleaner. I break down the action pretty regularly. I figure the next wad down the tube will push out the extra powder from the last, and so on

I try to keep my gun in a case until I am ready to use it. My case has a should strap, so when I am carrying dekes, etc it is not exposed.
This helps avoid a lot of the dirt in the first place....
