I used to leave my hawkins loaded for a week or more if I didn' t shoot it. (In the cold and not capped) I' d clean it after the hunt if I shot it. Or after the next days hunt if I was hunting two in a row. On the range, I could shoot ten or more before I had to swab the barrel. I guess the new gun has new rules. Thanks for the help, I' ll look for the speed loaders tomorrow night when I check in my deer.

Thanks

Greg
