A Tradition of Performance and Safety. In 1816 Eliphalet Remington was confident he could make a flintlock that was as good or better than any he could buy. His confidence was well founded. The barrel he handcrafted set a new standard for firearm accuracy and spawned generations of products that have made Remington® Arms America’s leading gunmaker. While performance and style are certainly hallmarks of Remington firearms, one factor ultimately drives their performance. Safety.
2nd COMMANDMENT (cont’d) Let common sense rule when you carry a loaded gun. If you’re in a situation that could risk accidental discharge – such as crossing a fence, wading through a stream or climbing a tree – always unload your gun. Never pull or push a loaded firearm toward yourself or another person. And never carry a loaded gun in a scabbard, detached holster or gun case.
5th COMMANDMENT Use Proper Ammunition. Every firearm is designed to use a certain caliber or gauge of ammunition. Using the wrong ammunition, mixing ammunition or using improperly reloaded ammunition can cause serious personal injury or death. And it only takes one cartridge or shotshell of the incorrect caliber or gauge, or which has been improperly reloaded, to destroy your firearm. It’s your responsibility to make sure the ammunition you use exactly matches the caliber or gauge of your gun.
th COMMANDMENT (cont’d) Finally, when reloading or handloading concentrate on what you’re doing at all times. Do not be distracted by talking to others, listening to the radio or watching TV while reloading. Never reload after consuming alcoholic beverages or drugs of any kind. You are working with extremely hazardous materials and you can’t risk even a few seconds of distraction.
9th COMMANDMENT Don’t Alter or Modify Your Gun and Have it Serviced Regularly. Your firearm has been designed to operate according to certain factory specifications. Y ou’ll jeopardize your safety and that of others around you by attempting to alter its trigger, mechanical safety or other mechanisms. So never alter or modify your firearm in any way. Like any mechanical device, a firearm is subject to wear. It must be maintained and periodically serviced to assure optimum safety and performance.
SPECIAL SAFETY RULES FOR MUZZLELOADERS In addition to the Ten Commandments of Firearm Safety, there are several guidelines specific to black powder guns that muzzleloaders must observe at all times to ensure their safety and the safety of others. The following is a brief overview of these guidelines. For full details, thoroughly read this instruction book. MUZZLELOADING SAFETY RULES 1. NEVER smoke while using your muzzleloader or while near any quantity of black powder, PYRODEX.® or Triple Seven®. 2.
SPECIAL SAFETY RULES FOR MUZZLELOADERS (cont’d) MUZZLELOADING SAFETY RULES 13. RENDER YOUR FIREARM INOPERABLE WHENEVER YOU ARE NOT SHOOTING. Never place the primer into the breech plug until just before firing and remove it immediately if you do not fire. Never carry or store a loaded firearm in a building or a vehicle.

Loading and Shooting Procedures (cont’d) WARNING! TRIPLE SEVEN® Powder is NOT intended to be used as a volume-to-volume replacement for black powder or PYRODEX®. To obtain similar velocities and pressures as black powder or Pyrodex® powder, you must decrease the volume of Triple Seven® powder by 15%. Thus, on a volumetric basis, to replicate the same pressure and velocity of a 100 grain black powder or Pyrodex® load, you must calibrate your volumetric powder measure to 85 grains for Triple Seven®.
Loading and Shooting Procedures (cont’d) The Saboted Conical. With a saboted projectile, the sabot engages the barrel rifling (rather than the projectile itself) to provide a gas seal as well as to provide the rotation necessary to stabilize the projectile in flight. A smaller-than-bore-size projectile can be used with a sabot resulting in higher muzzle velocity, flatter trajectory. The sabot is self-lubricating, so there is no need to use additional lubrication when shooting saboted projectiles.
Loading and Shooting Procedures (cont’d) l. LOADING THE POWDER: WARNING Do not attempt to load the firearm until you have read and understand this book in its entirety and all 12 of the previous loading conditions listed above have been met. 1.

(See Picture 15). . Picture 15 WARNING Do not pound on the ramrod to seat the projectile.
