Use electricians tape! Some gas blows by and blows the tape off before the bullet even gets there!

A good reminder. It is the little foxes that soil the vineyards.

Cool article, and yes, I'm a firm believer in a little tape over the muzzle.

My bear didn't notice I had green electrical tape on the muzzle. And the bullet still performed well.

Never leave home on a hunt without it. I keep two more pieces behind the scope rings for after the shot and to show me if my scope is walking.

...huh, I pack some little cheapazz waterballoons. Work pretty good for marking things, too. Surprising how far you can spot a bright colored balloon tied to a limb, a piece of sage brush, or even a clump of grass, better than ribbon @ a distance...
Been using it for 25 years. When I started hunting the "wet" side of Oregon I had an incident sitting on stand for two hours in the rain and holding my rifle in the barrel up position 
. Luckily I didn't fire the rifle but when I opened the action to unload I was amazed at the amount of water in the chamber/barrel. Taped the barrel ever since.
