Have been shooting my Traditions Evolution , 209 ignition for a few months now. My question is using 2 - 50 grain pellets and a 240 grain sabot can I load up and leave it loaded for the entire 2 week season.

Personally, I would empty the gun after a few days (maybe three days) just to be on the safe side. Anything longer than that and you take a chance on your powder getting wet. Just my opinion though.

Regardless of how long you leave it there, you want to check to make sure the bullet is seated before you go out each day.

I would say depending on what weather conditions you' ve been hunting in. If it' s been raining I would say to be sure unload it. Clean and dry the rifle,then reload it. In GA our BP season is a week. I keep it loaded that entire week unless I' m lucky enough to shoot a deer or two.I had a problem with my Knight during BP season. It was my mistake and it won' t happen again.When I removed the Disc I didn' t put anything there to seal it off. It rained the entire weekend.The rain was getting in my breech plug.I shot a 5 point and instead of cleaning before reloading I reloaded before coming down. Between that and the rain I had a terrible mess when I went to shoot it out.From now on I' m going to use a fired Disc to seal it when not ready hunting. I would suggest on your Traditions when you remove the 209 primer find a way to seal it from the elements. I would have been POed if a deer came up and just a primer going off.

Thanks for the quick answers. In Connecticut the season is two weeks starting Dec 10 so it should be cold. Looks like I need to fire after the first week. Thanks again Phil
