And do you all tape your muzzle with a single thickness of tape across the muzzle and then a wrap around the barrel covering the ends of the first piece, or some other technique?
I've always considered that method, with the electrical tape I use, is somewhat akin to plugging the barrel. Even if it doesn't cause a blow up like ice in the barrel might, I figure it might change things enough to change downrange ballistics.
My method is to use a small square, folded over on one side, and cover just the muzzle. The folded edge give me something to grab to remove it with if desired.
The only problem I have is the electricians tape doesn't adhere well to cold metal. I've been toying with using a different type of tape or wrapping tape around the barrel at the muzzle and using a second piece to cover the muzzle with enough overlap to adhere to the tape I wrapped around the barrel.
I use black tape but red, blue, green, I wouldn't care. Its just that I already have black.
