Pellets or powder do not cause corrosion... residue and water do...
IF you keep everything dry - it will work... if there is a doubt unload it....
Wondering...Would leaving the powder pellets in cause any additional corrosion?
I like removing the primer & leaving it. Muzzle loader season is just in for the next 10 days anyway.

I agree with Sabotloader. If it was loaded on a clean dry bore, it's safe for a long long time. If you popped a primer or two before loading I wouldn't leave a load in there more than two weeks or so. If you shot a fouling shot before loading I would pull the charge at the end of the day.
