I hunt with a t/c renegde. I use fffg black powder & 320gr. maxi ball. On a 2-3 day hunt is it necessary to fire your weapon at day's end and swab the barrel, or is it ok to leave the charge in for a couple days? I always feel reluctant to make noise before returning to camp. Another question I have is in regards to snapping a couple caps before the hunt. Our camp is small and sits in the woods. I always get funny looks from my hunting partners when I fire off caps in the camp at 5:30 A.M. I'd appreciate any thoughts. Thanks
