Loaded for a month

[Forestwalker]

hey fishdoggydog,

that's nothing, its a modern muzzleloader, I have yester-year style sidelocks here in virginia, we have a blackpowder season first two weeks of november, didn't see a single deer, left the rifle loaded and locked away, took it out in April and got a dandy turkey for spring gobbler season. And that was using regular a regular cap and loose powder.

Its all in how you store them(barrel down and no temp extremes, they cause barrel sweating)

best of luck
