BP and BP substitutes are orthoscopic, meaning they soak up moisture, causeing ignition failure.
I think you mean Hygroscopic. I'll leave mine loaded for a few days, but longer than that, i just screw out the breech plug and push the load out or shoot my Great Plains sidelock. Just a personal thing for my peace of mind.
