I've recently gotten a Lyman Deerstalker Leftie Flintlock and have been practicing with it. I think I've gotten the reliability down and definitely have it shooting well.
Anyways, Saturday is opening day of Muzzleloader here in KY. The weather forecast is predicting random showers. Any tips on keeping the flash pan dry?
I've read plastic wrap and a rubber band on the end of the muzzle can keep moisture out of the barrel. I've gotten a leather cover for the lock. I'm not sure the leather cover would be waterproof for long though.
A guy at work mentioned changing the pan's powder out every hour.
Any other tips? I've put a lot of effort and time into this and want it to be a success.
