I dont unload every day while hunting from camp, But I always unload and clean no matter what when I get home. I cant remember ever having a prob with wet powder hunting in any conditions, but my primmers got wet once and that screwed me out of a shot on a buck. I would imagine hunting with a inline would be very easy to empty out at the end of the day, I just use my air compreser to pop out the slug and then dump the powder at home.

I got wet powder once, hunting in the wet snow.  The one time I tried hunting with Powerbelts, and they didn't seal the bore very well.  Should have seen me snapping caps out in the Motel parking lot trying to dry it out for the next day's hunt.  :bash:

Never bought Powerbelts again!
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

When Bernie Madoff did it, it's called a "Ponzi Scheme"
When Government does it, it's called "Social Security"

So I tried the nail polish thing the other day and am not sure if I am doing it right?  The web page that was given won't work for me.  I tried putting the cap on and then painting the base around the nipple to seal it and then the second time I just put the polish in the cap and put it on the nipple.  Both ways worked when I wanted to shoot, but I don't know if they will keep the cap dry?  How do you all paint them up?

I loaded back in Sept. and it’s still loaded.  Hopefully I’ll empty it on a deer during the late season, if not I’ll take it to the range and fire it out.
