Is anyone aware of any problems by using electrical tape over one's muzzle to "waterproof" a muzzleloader?
More pointedly, in terms of shooting thru the tape?

I'll be sure to only use "blue"!ewc said:Wes-
I use electrical tape on all my guns, including my mz. Never an issue. Make sure you only use blue electrical tape though. :grin:

The shot at 245 had tape, I reloaded and killed the next one at 225 (no tape). I then got stupid and sold that gun to DA.
Built my .40 and have killed 15 or so with it and tape, longest shot may have been 130-150 yards. No adverse effect with the tape.
I use three pieces of tape. Two in a plus shape and one going around the barrel connecting all three. On my stock, I stick three more pieces to replace after a shot.
