CAUTION: Do not use loose paper, cloth, or
other materials as a partial or full susbtitute
for independent wads. Loose papaer or cloth
will not provide needed wadding and can be
dangerous.
With a ramrod, press the over-powder wad down
onto the top of powder. Proceed smoothly and
firmly making sure not to crush the powder.
NOTE: Crushing the powder will cause it to be-
come a finer grade.
13. Insert one filler wad down the bore as far as possible with your thumb.
Using a ramrod, press the filler wad firmly against the top of over-pow-
der wad.
14. Volumetrically measure the shot charge and pour it down the barrel. (See
page 11 for Table 2.)
15. Insert one over-shot wad down the bore as far as possible with your thumb.
Using a ramrod, press the over-shot wad firmly against the shot charge.
CAUTION: When using the ramrod, never grab
it more than 8 inches above the muzzle. To do so could cause a side stress,
break the ramrod and possibly puncture your hand.
