Sharp Shooter

Sometime if you get a chance try the plastic wrap - you really might be surprised... It really doesn't melt per sey - the piece that was over you cap or breech is blown away by the exploding cap and the bit of blowback coming back up the nipple. There is no mess no fuss it is just gone...

I can't say that I am a fan of the valve cap over the cap because that might cost me time when I need to get the shot off now...

What are those finger cots? What are they for and where do you get them?
Finger cots could be compared to small ballons that you insert over the end of the muzzle. The are available in about any pharmacy - I get mine at wal-mart. They are not as heavy(thick) as the regular muzzle mitts but they work ok.

At night time could I just keep whatever I have over the muzzle, take the cap off and put some plastic over the nipple
If you are storing the rifle at niight in a place it will not get wet - I would at night I would remove the covers and allow the gun to breath, or you might trap moisture and/or condensation in the barrel. Most people would tell you if you feel there is any chance that your charge could get or be contaminated - shoot and reload in the morning...

People have already shown you what the finger cot is but I took the picture so I' all add it to this...
