A friend said they damaged their Inline Muzzleloader by leaving it loaded with pellets too long and said the pellets corroded the barrel.
Is that possible?
I basically leave my Inline loaded until I shoot a deer or the end of the season which is about a month.
Is that too long to leave it loaded?
Also, if I go up Muzzleloader hunting and there is a break of time when I come home from the cabin. I usually shoot my muzzleloader then pack it up, go home and then come back hunting without cleaning it. (I then clean it at the end of the season.)
Is it ok to fire it that once and not clean it until the end of the season?
Or if I shoot 4-6 deer and never clean it until the end of the season, is that ok too? (Not all me shooting deer.)
