I do what I think is more middle of the road.
Once I load my Encore, I leave it loaded. But, not generally for more than 4 days. Here in Mississippi, you can have night in the mid 20s and then the next day get up to 65 and back down again. Some pretty big swings with high humidity as well. Using this method, I have never had a problem.

I am with 777, I like shooting my gun and I am blessed with the opportunity to be able tohunt almost every day, either before or after work.Also have a range about two miles from my office.So, it rarely goes more than 3 or 4 days for me to "have" to shoot a load out. Because where I hunt you have to use a shotgun or M/L, I use my Encore from the middle of November till the end of January almost every day. Keep it in the truck pretty much 24/7.. Shoot it a minimum of 2 to 5 times a week, in the past three years since I have been doing thiswith my Encore I have never had a hangfire, misfire or bad shot (keep in mind I have never let it sit longer than a week) By the end of the season, it adds up. I have never let it go longer than a week without shooting the load so I think that you would be very safe to stay within 4 or 5 days.
