Barrel muzzle tape?
« on: November 09, 2016, 08:20:00 AM »
How many of you tape over the muzzle of your barrel when hunting rainy conditions? Do you take it off for the shot or just shoot through it? I've always wondered that

Always. every rifle I have. Just shoot through it. No effect at all on the bullet.

 :yeah:

The pressure built up ahead of the bullet pops the tape off before the bullet gets to the tape.  No appreciable effect on accuracy.

I've got a bunch of the little finger cots (condom looking things) They would just roll on. but may not be tight enough?

Electrical tape. Always in the rain.

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

I do e-tape as well, but more for junk than rain. I cannot imagine that a little rain in the barrel has any effect on bullet performance?

Seriously, these things are way better than tape.  And dont give me that crap about tape being cheaper, these things are 1.2 cents a piece.  Seriously, they cost a penny.  http://m.ebay.com/itm/720-Finger-Cots-NON-Powder-SMALL-Latex-Fingertips-Protective-/232116084045?hash=item360b325d4d%3Ag%3AxmoAAOSwH71XO29K&_trkparms=pageci%253Aaf2da40d-a6a4-11e6-8eaa-74dbd1809ff8%257Cparentrq%253A4a3451611580a605a4cb59c6ffff1b41%257Ciid%253A4

How do they work with a muzzle brake. Do you or would you cover the brake.
