Muzzle Loader in the rain

[wdemr67]

I was just wondering how you guys keep your powder dry when hunting in the rain.
I prefer my muzzle loader but typically use my shotgun in the rain.
Thanks,
Bill

Balloon on the end of the barrel.

Tip of the finger from a rubber glove, over the end of the barrel.

Plastic dust cap from AR muzzle cover fits my 50 cal ML perfect. Many guys put piece of elec tape on crown.

Isn't this the reason the army used to hand out condoms? Keep your barrel protected?

That was to keep their gun protected. Lol

Piece of tape, or the ar15 plastic cap, they've been tested and found to have almost no effect on accuracy if u shoot right through the tape / cap,

Same here piece of electrical tape. Also helps keeping snow out of barrel in winter.

"finger cots" for those that may have cheap/free access. Latex mini-condoms, actually just the fingers of latex gloves. Used for fingertip-dexterity industrial processes where there may be mild irritants in play: Much more comfortable than full latex gloves for extended wear.

just stick your dinky in the end of the barrel...i know .50cal might be a little big for some of you guys, but if you stick the entire thing in, you might still be ok.

happy hunting.

The shotgun and ML get that treatment. I do this mostly to keep out any debris.

My percussion cap ML also got a piece of Saran Wrap under the cap and I always used real black powder, Goex for me, as all of the substitute black powders have a higher ignition temperature than the real thing. I have hunted all day in the rain with this setup and it always goes bang at the end of the day. Never had a problem or hangfire doing it this way.

Tape on the muzzle, and cows knee around the lock.

They are trying to keep the powder dry.
