Unless everybody is 100% of the time. I'll continue to load every morning.

Ever watch the program Sasquatch? He has more slow fires, and no fires than i've ever seen, and they show all of them on his show. It's well above 50%.

I suppose using subs in an inline would be safer than a sidelock with real BP. I use the latter, and won't take any chances. I also have no place to leave the gun outside.

I use musket caps, I have a shot cap that I have a green tape on that I use when I am thru hunting. I pop off the good gold one and put the green one on. Then usually my gun stays outside locked in my truck which is parked next to my hunting cabin.

The USA is a pretty nifty place. We are allowed to unload our muzzleloaders at the end of the day or keep them loaded for a generation. We are allowed to choose from several brands of muzzleloaders, bullets, powder, patch lube, etc.

Do whatever works for you, don't expect everyone to mimick what works for you.

Why the heck not? The way I do it is THE RIGHT WAY!

It has and it will all the time - IF you know and practice the right things...

No.. no i never have. After we redesigned the CVA breech plug i have never experienced a misfire, nor a hang fire.. after leaving my rifles loaded days, weeks... What am i missing?

You're missing he uses a sidelock.

So what... I do the same thing with my Renegades. I have full confidence in them if you protect them and the powder.

That is what ML rain gear is for!

I find it no big deal to shoot the load, run a couple of patches down the bore, and then reload in the morning.

It makes me feel better. Ok?

the main thing is ... do what you are most confident in. If you have any doubts the rifle might NOT fire the next day, unload and start new. Its that simple. I'd rather burn a little powder and loose a little lead, and reload the next day then to risk a chance for a shot the next day. When that cap pops and the rifle don't go off... it will make you think for a long time.
