Hi,
I bought my first BP pistol, first BP of anything actually. It's a Pietta Remington 1858 and have yet to shoot it,hopefully this week. If I have loaded the gun ...no caps on it yet....how long can one keep the cylinder loaded with BP? Will it not be corrosive after a while? Was wondering in case I load it at home then go where ever (walk in the woods, etc) how much approximate time can go by before I worry about the cylinder corroding?
Thanks,
Chuck
