I was talking to a fellow I shoot with and told him I had acquired a muzzle loader. Since I am new to black powder and muzzle loaders in general, he gave me a suggestion that I always store a muzzle loader in the muzzle down position. Is there any particular reason for this? Why would that be different than any of my other rifles? Just trying to get better informed and do the right thing. I also store all of my rifles in a silicon impregnated sleeve to prevent scratches. Any reason why I should not store the rifle in a sleeve? I do keep desiccant in my safes to keep the humidity low.
