End of barrel rain protection

[Coonhound]

I will be going up for black powder hunt on november 7 and looks like a few days of rain for now anyway. Talking to a friend who said he cuts off the end of latex gloves and puts one on his barrel so no rain gets in, he said no issues shooting and doesn't affect accuracy. I know everyone was taught no obstruction of the barrel but it did get me thinking. Anybody do this or anything similar? Thanks

we use electrical tape on the muzzle

And do you shoot through it or take it off before shooting?

No problem shooting with it on the muzze,the blast will either blow it off,or you punch a hole thru.
I just avoid securing it with to many layers of tape to the barrell,and use one layer of tape only.

NOTHING shall go into the barrel though-THAT is obstruction.

I use the finger of a black Natrell glove
shot out to 100 yards in practice with absolutely no issues or change in performance

Piece of tape. Finger off a nitrile glove. A latex prophylactic ( new, not used)...

All work fine and have zero effect on bullet trajectory.

Great thanks for the responses, I guess I will likely be using one of these methods this year unless the weather reports change.

we always use electrical tape but glove should work

I use a small finger condom from the drug store. They are used to cover a injured finger. They come in a box of 50.

I also use the finger cut from a latex glove. I hunt in the rain, snow whatever - no problems in 20 years. I use black tape for my rifles to prevent dirt/snow getting in, but I don't think it is as waterproof as the glove - partly because my ML has a fluted barrel. BTW, Terry Weiland and probably others have tested rifles with tape on extensively, no affect on accuracy, as the gas ahead of the bullet blows off the tape. There are slow motion videos of it.
