What do you use for a muzzle cover to protect loaded MZ?

Tape, balloons, etc. but what if you do not have any and get caught in a downpour? I have used acorns, bark off trees and even leaves. I have also used my hat once in a really good rainstorm and almost had a shot at a running deer. All have worked fine with no issues. Inlines with closed breaches really do not have issues, if you have a percussion or flintlock those are really the ones affected.

I just got some finger cots this year and have not used them yet. In 25 years of hunting with a muzzleloader, a side lock percussion, I just kept the barrel pointing down with my hand over the hammer and nipple to protect it from the rain and I never had any problems.

Great idea - wish they were available in other colors than white (at least the ones readily available). That is the only downside to this - having a "white" tipped barrel - but could easily be colored with a marker or something. Fantastic idea.

I have used a lot of different types of muzzle protection...
This one os by the best IMO... it is thicker and much more durable...
