    Does anyone even do this anymore?

    Rifles yes, revolvers no. dry swab both before loading. I use paper cartridges in my revolvers so all they need is a swab. Nipples are cleaned and clear after use.

    Hunting with a percussion rifle

    I use a tire valve stem cap over my capped nipple with the hammer down. Protects from rain, cap loss and accidental discharge. the cap removes easily at half cock.

    Which state is the best for ML?

    Florida, particularly North Florida.. I'm located between zones c an d, this gives an extra month of hunting ( mid September-c, thru mid February-d) rut varies from November in c , to January in d. Plenty of public land. If your a resident over 65 no license required, including WMA permits.

    Half cock

    I put a valve stem cap over my nipple when hunting. They protect from moisture, prevent accidental firing due to brush/branches and are easily removed for firing.

    Shotgun Wad Management

    I bought small plastic lure boxes. You can buy them with fixed or adjustable compartments to suit your space requirements. Powder and shot I keep in plastic reloading tubes, pre measured and ready to use. I can hold my own on a dove shoot.
