NOW THE RIFLE IS LOADED.
To make the rifle ready to fire, put the safety mechanism in the ‘Fire’ position and cock the hammer.
NOW THE RIFLE IS READY TO FIRE.
Pulling the trigger fires the rifle.
WARNING
Wait at least one full minute after firing the last round before pouring powder into the bore to allow time for any
residual sparks to be extinguished.
How to Handle a Misfire and Hang Fire.
The Remington Genesis™ ML has been designed to fire the instant that you pull the trigger. If, however, the
powder and/or 209 primer are damp, a hang fire or misfire may occur. A hang fire occurs when the rifle fires
up to several seconds after the trigger is pulled. A misfire occurs when a loaded rifle does not fire when the
trigger is pulled.
In the case of a misfire or hang fire, proceed as follows:
1. Keep the rifle pointed in a safe direction for at least one full minute with the hammer in the uncocked position.
BE PREPARED FOR THE RIFLE TO FIRE AT ANY INSTANT.
2. After no less than one minute return the safety mechanism to the ‘Safe’ position. See page 9.
3. Open the Torch Cam™ breech block to expose the breech plug.
4. Remove the 209 primer from the primer pocket and use a nipple pick to ensure that the flash hole through the
primer pocket is clear.
5. Place a new 209 primer in the primer pocket.
6. Close the Torch Cam™ breech block.
7. Aim at the target.
8. Put the safety mechanism in the ‘Fire’ position, cock the hammer and fire.
9. If the rifle still does not fire, repeat steps 1 through 8 several more times.
10. If the rifle still does not fire, the charge must be removed manually. See REMOVING A CHARGE
on page 21.
Suggested Loading Data.
This data was compiled from testing done by Remington
®
Arms using .50 caliber projectiles in a muzzleloading
rifle with a 1 in 28” twist. All testing was done with 2F or FFg black powder. This data is intended to serve as a
guideline only. Actual ballistic performance may vary based upon the type and brand of projectile used.
WARNING
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM CHARGE LISTED FOR USE IN THE REMINGTON GENESIS ML IN-LINE MUZZLELOADING
RIFLE. SEE PAGE 15. ONLY USE PROPELLANTS APPROVED FOR USE IN THE REMINGTON GENESIS ML IN-LINE
MUZZLELOADING RIFLE. SEE PAGE 15.
Failing to adhere to the maximum charge or substituting any powder type or granulation could result in serious
personal injur
y or death to the shooter or bystanders and damage to the fir
earm. The charge criteria listed are the
nominal range charge criteria for the given projectile.
The nominal suggested range of charge criteria produces the best combination of accuracy and velocity. It is
done by starting at the lower charge listed in the nominal range and increasing in 5 to 10 grain increments
until an optimum load is achieved. An optimum load is one which produces the best accuracy.
WARNING
Do not exceed the char
ge specified on Page 15. T
o do so may r
esult in serious personal injur
y or death to the shooter
or bystanders and damage to the fir
earm.
