Manual
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
®
.
WARNING! The use of ANY quantity of smokeless gun powder in this muzzleloading firearm
will produce dangerously high pressures which WILL result in serious injury or death to the
shooter and bystanders, and damage to the fir
earm.
Black powder is available in four powder grain sizes which are identified by a series of ‘F’s’ marked on the
container. 2F or FFg is used in .45 caliber or larger guns.
This is the granulation recommended for use
in this muzzleloading rifle. Do not use any other granulation
.
PYRODEX
®
is available in two grain sizes identified by an ‘RS’ or ‘P’ on the container.
PYRODEX
®
RS – Stands for Rifle and Shotgun powder and is designed for use in all calibers of percussion type
muzzleloading rifles and shotguns.
PYRODEX
®
RS is recommended for use in this muzzleloading rifle.
Do not use PYRODEX
®
P or any other designation.
Triple Seven
®
FFG Is designed for use in all calibers of percussion type muzzleloading rifles and
shotguns. TRIPLE SEVEN
®
FFG is recommended for use in this muzzleloading rifle.
WARNING! ONLY 2F OR FFG Black Powder, PYRODEX
®
RS, or TRIPLE SEVEN
®
FFG should
be used in this rifle.
This muzzleloading rifle is designated for use with a maximum powder charge of 150 grains of
FFG Black Powder, Pyrodex
®
RS loose powder or 130 grains Triple Seven
®
FFG loose powder.
Pelletized Propellants
Pryodex
®
and Triple Seven
®
propellants are available in either 30 grain or 50 grain pre-measured
pellet form and are intended to produce similar velocities and pressures as the same volume of the appropriate
granulation of black powder or Pyrodex
®
. Thus, two 50 grain Pyrodex
®
or Triple Seven
®
pellets will produce
pressures and velocities equivalent to a charge of 100 grains of black powder or Pyrodex
®
powder.
This muzzleloading rifle is designated for use with a maximum three (3) 50 grain pellet
propellant charge of Pyrodex
®
or Triple Seven
®
50 caliber pellets.
WARNING! Never exceed the maximum powder charge for this muzzleloading rifle.
Failure to comply with any of these warnings could result in serious personal injury or death
to the shooter or bystanders and damage to the firearm.
Selecting the Projectile.
Note: Only use projectiles designated for use in
muzzleloading fir
earms.
Ther
e are three projectile types
types that can be fir
ed
safely and accurately in this rifle. They are the saboted
conical, the lubed conical and the patched r
ound ball.
