I remove my BP dig out my loose powder ( pellet will fall out ) thewn push the sabot/bullet out saving my bullet , plus i don't have to clean my gun . I do run a clean patch down the barrel thought . I then re-load if going out the next day . I only do this if we are having bad weather . Good weather i leave it loaded and keep my gun in the back of my PU truck in the garage where the temps change slowly .
