[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 1078604, member: 33046"] Here's the deal........... First know this, BH209 does contain sulfur and potassium, both can corrode. However both are in very minimal amounts. You need to be aware of that. I would NOT suggest or recommend you leave it primed when its not in your hands and immediate control. Carry a couple primers in your pocket while the rifle is in the truck/quad/etc. As for BH and leaving it loaded.......... Unless you're in a very humid area, get caught in the rain or, fall in a creek, you can leave the rifle loaded for quite awhile. Remember, primers are non-corrosive so fire a couple primers ONLY before you load your charge of BH and coat the inside of the barrel. I'm in no way saying it won't corrode, what you're attempting to do is to eliminate as many contributing factors as possible. If you get into a humid situation where you may question it, do one of two things. Either clean the rifle and reload it or, just shoot the thing and reload it.
