Default RE: Firing unused bullet/charge

ORIGINAL: wetpwdr53

I've hunted for years with a t/c renegade but have yet to kill a deer. I always fire the weapon at the end of the day or hunt. Is this common practice for you experienced guys? My hunting buddies don't seemed too pleased when I announce the end of the hunting day with a blast from my 50 cal. Thanks
I've done it that way, and also by using a ball screw on the ramrod to pull the charge. It seems to me to be harder to clean up after dumping out a charge of unfired Pyrodex than to just shoot it into the ground or some safe backstop then clean the bore when I get home....
