First day of early muzzle loader season today in PA. First three hours were dry, then the rain started. My novice attemt to keep my powder dry was to rubber band a piece of saran wrap over the flint and flash pan.
Fun meter was pegged after two hours in the rain. Had spark but no flash when I went to clear the gun. Put fresh powder in the pan and got spark, flash, pause, hiss, sizzle, then bang. One heck of a hangfire.
Any tips from the pros on how to extend my fun on rainy days (besides buying an inline 209)?
