Default RE: Stayin Dry

I too have a CVA but it is an Optima. I hunted this past Saturday in a drizzle and thought I did a good job keeping the barrel down and covering the break open area. I didn't see anything Saturday or Sunday and went out Monday to fire the load and couldn't get it to go off. I removed the cap and breech plug and the 777 pellets were attached together and sticking to the sabot.

Is this typical for letting the charge in the barrel this long? When it is raining should the charge be removed after the hunt that morning or evening or is it because the moisture collected in the pellets and that is why I had the problem.

Don't mean to hijack the thread just curious on what I should have done differently
