Pulling Charge

Setup I am using 300g aerolite powerbelt and 2 white-hot pellets, the question i want to ask is 2 part how often do you pull the charge (gun sits in car overnight and in a blind while hunting and if you use powerbelts do you reuse or save for yearly sight in?.

I use Hornady bullets with the plastic sabot. I will pull the bullet and pellets out at the end of the week of muzzleloader hunting. I will reuse them all for sighting-in next time, with the expectation that the shot may not end up exactly where the others would. I shoot more than once to sight-in anyway. I haven't noticed much of a difference at 100 yards. I do this anytime I pull the bullet, regardless of the reason.
I will also pull the powder, bullet, primer if it has been a particularly wet hunt. Some people use a piece of tape on the muzzle to prevent water from entering the muzzle.

I have sent an email to the head CO for Ontario for a clarification on this, and will post his reply here when I receive it

If I may I'll move those post to another thread so that discussion can continue on its own course. I feel there is some good info there to be had and if the discussion remains civil well worth keeping along with your initial post.

Thanks

One of the many reasons I use a CVA with a removable breach plug is that I utilize 777 pellets. At the end of hunting day, I remove primer, then unscrew the breach plug. This allows me to pop out the 2 777 pellets into a ziploc and they then get reserved for the range. I leave the bullet in place and then put 2 fresh pellets in daily.
