I provide support to two local GunSmiths and they often get trouble calls from M/L shooters that get into this "Great-Adventure", mainly to extend their hunting season and dumb as "day-old" Boots; not very knowledgeable about what they are doing. Yes, mostly it's the In-Liners. Well, just got a call that a customer still had his M/L loaded, from last year and proceeded to load for this year. He got lucky and so far, only has to get a new pair of glasses. He wants it checked out and see if it's safe to shoot. I told my Smith that I would look at it but good or bad, would not give it, my blessings and he shouldn't either. ....
Now then, in Iowa, an M/L is considered unloaded if there is no primer, in place. Student once asked is it would be okay if he kept the M/L loaded "unprimerd" all season and then clear it. I know many folks do this but make sure to keep track of the condition what you are doing. To some degree "we" are all Guilty of this. .....
Be Safe !!!
