Traditions also makes a great barrel "condom" for keeping the powder dry they call "rain gear". I learned that it's real easy for water to go down the barrel when pounding through wet brush, even if it hasn't rained. I tried those "barrel cots" in the red and black package. They are too small and break really easily. The traditions "rain gear" is much tougher and designed for the larger diameter of a muzzleloader. They also come with tiny little sections of surgical tubes which I guess are to cover the cap. My RWS caps seal so tight, that I've never bothered with them. Also see no need for fingernail polish around the cap. This season my rifle was in the rain for a couple days, but when the time came it went boom!
