Why is it a PITA? I do not find that to be so.

I do it mostly because it's easy and seems to reduce the likelyhood of fire. At least one fire was started last year by a muzzleloader in Oregon and I have seen smoldering wads on the range where only the shortness and greenness of the mowed grass prevented a fire from starting.

I can stop for time to time at the truck to unload birds, water dogs and human, and even water guns. I usually run a patch then so I don't have water running back into the locks.

Thanks,
Brent
