Same Moderator but I've never had your problem as I Always carry my Rifle pointing to the ground
Another good reason to put some tape over the muzzle.....to prevent plugging..
Well in 40 + years Stalking on a weekly basis I've never plugged a Rifle barrel as you put it and Never taped it. As stated I carry my Rifle pointing down and forward holding the Moderator. But if you're way works for you That's fine .
May be a daft question but is there no issue firing the rifle without taking the tape off?
Do you chaps mean scotch tape? As in plastic insulation tape?

It's a good point albeit we are not looking at a pressure issue but rather how it MAY affect accuracy.
Next time at the range I'll shoot two 5-shot groups. With and without clingfilm. I personally wouldn't use sparks tape.
I only wrap in clingfilm to stop ingress of water as a half-full with water barrel can't do much for accuracy of pressure. Most rifles won't however have a watertight neck to chamber seal, so lots of water passing through to action which is what you want.
Maybe another in-the-field disadvantage of an action with match chamber tolerances??
