Will it hurt to leave it loaded--as far as corrosion goes will it hurt?
My barrel is S/S.

Thanks guys,

Last year I loaded one of mine w/BH the first day of the season. Shot several times and finally cleaned it the last day of the season over a month and a half later. Would I do that with subs? Absolutely not! But I have done this several times w/BH and have not had a problem.

As long as you keep it dry you should be fine. If you're worried about it, then clean it. No need to stress about it. If you don't shoot it, then there should be very little to worry about in my opinion.
