As many of you know, it is a common practice for hunters to cover the muzzle of their rifles with black electrician's tape while hunting in deep powder snow. I also have used a commercial cover made in Montana that looks like a miniature black condom with a rubber band that helps hold it in place This technique effectively prevents snow from packing in the bore as you crawl through the brush in late season conditions. What, if anything, is the effect on accuracy and/or potential damage to the rifle when shooting through this tape? CP.
