I'm not surprised falcon. That's been my experience with every gun I ever left loaded for an extended period of time. Of course, it was always loaded on a squeaky clean barrel. I'd never leave a load in a fouled bore for more than two days.

Well that is a glowing testament to your ability to prepare, load, and store your rifle properly. I never seem to have that kind of luck.
