[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 2533220, member: 99519"] I tried a few odds an ends on the muzzle..electrical tape..wrapping tape..even duct tape....I do not suggest duct tape...way more recoil as it really stuck n the end and strong enough to build extra pressure before being blown off the end.... I found I liked the pharmaceutical rubberized fingertip applicators....stretchy..tough..water proof..but no back pressures as duct tape...I did use electrical tape to secure it to the barrel..... Depending upon how much muzzle you have ahead of your front sight..good seal vs really good seal.... I was sealed very well... #11 cap over suran wrap on nipple...very snug fit...of course flame channel(open area)...into powder chamber..waxed wad..paperpatched .496" lead bullet...into barrel...with finger applicator....sealed good...... Hunted rain and snow...mostly in the trees looking for whitetail....wet.... 3 days before test firing...worked perfect... Good luck on hunt.... Flame on..... [/QUOTE]
