*Fingers Crossed* TTC#1

I just bought a TC Encore Pro Hunter. I hunt in Indiana every year, and of course it rains and snows there. I was just wondering what is the best thing to do to protect you powder from getting wet or damp? Thanks!

I do hope you are only using ONE projectile at a time,and not littering the countryside with ballbearings or scrap metal.Fragging our limited wildlife is not a sport to me ,it is a moral crime against every religious teaching in existence,You only kill to eat,if you have to,to say shooting defenceless animals, who cannot shoot back, is a sport is a crime against reason,even the ancient pagan tribes only killed enough to eat and survive.I have shot and killed human beings without a second thought because it was them or me,but i could not take an innocent life for nothing more than pleasure.

Load at home. Here in PA a muzzleloader isn't considered "loaded" until the frizzen pan is primed or a cap is put in the lock. If you are using a percussion cap, there shouldn't be much issue with rain. The Encore is a percussion cap firearm.

As for reloading or loading in the field, get some speed loaders. You pre-measure the powder at home, and just keep enough in one speed loader for one shot. They are water/weather proof. Some even have a spot for the cap, most have a spot for the bullet.

There are a lot of high-tech Muzzleloader stuff on the market I'm not too familiar with. In PA we have pretty restrictive Muzzleloading regulations, at least during "Muzzleloader" season.

the answer you got when you asked this same question earlier is a good answer
