RE: How long can I keep my load in???
In the past I have left either my 1860 Army or my 1858 New Army loaded for several months & on a few occasions have taken my 58' out in the back woods while loaded for extended lengths of time & every time I squeeze the trigger either of them went boom & hit their mark.
Back then I either wasn't old enough or couldn't afford a more modern weapon being that I had like the 60' Army since I was 12 & it worked I wasn't worried but now I tend to do it off & on because I like the sound & smoke from my old wheel guns.
I have left a load in my Zouave for nearly a year once "kinda forgot it was loaded" but it too went boom after the second cap.
These were all loaded with Goex FFFG "cept for the rifle which was FFG."

I leave mine loaded all 10 days of the wisconisn ml season. I have no problems at all with 777. Make sure you keep your gun a temps that are close to the same to prevent any sweating. I leave mine in my car all ml season. so its always cold.
