Hunting with inline Muzzleloader - how long to keep using same pellets?

[rifleman338]

Thanks for all of the comments. I'm bringing my smoothbore shotgun as my backup gun. Hopefully everything goes well for me. Discussing with you all and guys from my local gun club I think I'm taking the shotgun out if it is raining, and using the muzzleloader when it's not. As others said, I don't want to waste my chance at a deer so I'll be changing out the white hots every day. Also thinking about putting a piece of electrical tape across the exit of the barrel to help keep moisture out. Anyone have any experience with those "condoms" that go on the end of the muzzle?

Don't waste your $$ on the muzzle gloves, electrical tape works just as good if not better and is cheaper.

It's a CVA Wolf, so I remove the 209 primer, remove the breach plug (by hand!), the two White Hots come out, then I push the PowerBelt out the muzzle from the stock end. At least, this is what I plan on doing... hunt starts Nov 4th!

What I always did with my Knight USAK, only all I ever used was 2-50gr Pyrodex pellet's and a #11 percussion caps. I'd take the plunger
/bolt out, then the nipple followed by the breech plug. Then push pellets and Hornady 240 gr HP out from the barrel end into the breech area.
