As we are into deer season in most areas, and ML rifles are likely afield, I felt it was not inappropriate to resurrect this thread and add a comment.
I have frequently left a ML rifle charged but not primed for weeks at a time during deer season. There are two T/C .50's in my wall rack in the den at this time so configured. My practice, if the rifle is left charged till the next hunt, is to remove the ramrod and drop it into the bore. That serves as clear indication that the gun is charged and will help to prevent a double charge were I to become lackadaisical.
