Question 2. Once I preload all my cylinders, how long can I leave them before firing?
What I did my first time was load them and then I vacuum sealed them for a week.
Is it the moisture in the air or the corrosiveness that would be the problem for loading in advance? How long would be too long to pre load chambers?
I would like to load them (5 cylinders) at my leisure at home with a loader instead of at the range to save some time.
Question 3. Chain firing. If the ball seals the chambers (lead ring proves that) why do you have to also seal each chamber with a wax/Crisco barrier??
Sorry for the stupid questions, but I've never owned a BP weapon before and don't want to blow myself up or ruin the weapon.
