My questions is on a 5 day hunt, should i be concerned at any point about freshening up the powder charge?

A little more context - I'm going to be elk hunting with an early gen TC Encore 50 cal ML (pre speed breech). Weather is forecasted to be relatively dry, low in the 30's, and highs in the 70's. I'm using 85 gr by weight of blackhorn 209 and Hornady's 340 gr. bore driver. I'm going to use black electrical tape over the bbl just in case we do get some moisture.
 
At the end of the day, I place a shot primer that I gutted and filled with silicone in the primer pocket to seal the breech. I haven't had any issues with taking my rifle in and out of house to stand and vice versa.
