I believe that is a personal choice.... I have had my present load of t7 in my Knight since October 8 and there is no doubt in my mind it will go boom at the right moment. It has been in out of the truck, the house, and of course the in the field from the low 20's to the mid 40's. I hunted with it yesterday in the snow and the rain, barrel was covered with a muzzle mit and primer and breech were sealed with a red plastic jacket - brought it home wiped it down, cleaned the scope and it is ready to go for Sunday.

It was fired on the 7th of October to check POI - shot it four times. Patched it with a damp windex patch and reloaded that evening, and it has been that way since....

BUT! It is an experiance thing - it took me a lot of years to build this kinda confidence through trial and error. As you develope experiance with your gun and your powder you will know when to shoot it out or pull and when you can hunt with it.

I'd like to tell you more - but gotta go trap shoot...

Here is some information for you there is another one but I can not find it right now...

The really big thing - "if in doubt - get it out"
