Also if its humid or damp or rain/snowing I change the powder about every 30-45 minutes. Open the pan brush it clean, wipe it out with a patch, new powder and close. I have done all of this in the field and when it came to crunch time, in a snow storm, I shot a doe. The rifle went off perfect. Also if its real damp I put 3f instead of 4f in the pan.
