Has anyone tried electrical tape with a muzzleloader?
Thanks,

Yes.
I posted this in the muzzleloader forum.

This year I had mine out rain for a couple of hours and had no problems with it firing either. I did have tape over the muzzle though.
I learned something this year while load testing before the season. I made the mistake of putting a bullet/sabot in the barrel before putting any powder in. I caught my mistake because I always lay out the components for a load before I begin the loading process. I brain farted, looked down and saw the pellets I was using laying there with the primer. Moving on.
I had to remove the breech plug the push the sabot through. After doing so I noticed that the sabot did not contact the bottom of the grooves in the rifling. Clean and shiny lands but dirty grooves. It made me realize that with the easy loading sabots they're NOT absolutely water tight.
