NEbuck Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I'm new to ML, I have a Triumph with the Nikon Omega scope. I shoot 3 50gr of pyrodex and the 250gr shockwave. My question is, How long can I leave it loaded? For example if I get done hunting and know that I'm going to be going back out sometime fairly soon do I need to shoot it at the end of the day of will it still be OK to leave the load in? I will abviously remove the primer when I'm done hunting. Thanks, Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierDaddy28 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I don't know what the popular answer will be on this, but I leave mine loaded until season is over or until I shoot it at a deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I leave mine loaded until season is over or until I shoot it at a deer. Typically what I do too, and have never had an issue with a load since using the black diamond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEbuck Posted November 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Thanks for the replies, I didnt know if condensation would be a factor. Do you guys put tape or balloons over your barrels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure some do, but I have never used tape or balloons over the end of the muzzle. Cold to warm can create moisture. I usually will leave my ml in the garage where the temp is much closer to that of outside than the temp in the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Typically what I do too, and have never had an issue with a load since using the black diamond. Ditto x2. I just leave mine in the cold, so condensation doesn't get the powder wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY_Bowhunter14 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 i have only had my Triumph this hunting season, but i have kept it loaded, just took the primer out, i will shoot it at the end of the season, but not until then, unless i get a big boy infront of me!
