I've left my 50cal loaded for the entire B/p season with no ill results. The corrosive potential is from the burned residue and available moisture in the air. Even wood ash is corrosive when moisture is added. I have also not cleaned my B/p pistols for 2 to 3 days due to an emergency and they cleaned up fine, they were stored in air tight ammo boxes with a cup of dessicant, no moisture, no corrosion.
