How To Load Your Firearm
Muzzleloading Rifle
See Page 22 for Shotgun and Centerfire Rifle Instructions
Warning
Before loading this or any firearm, always check the bore to be sure it is
free of grease, oil or any other obstruction. BE SURE the chamber is
empty and the entire barrel is clear. Open the breech and remove the
breech plug using the wrench so you can visually check the full length of
the barrel for any obstruction by looking through the chamber end of the
barrel. Failure to do so may damage your firearm and can result in
accidental death or serious injury.
Warning
Unlike cartridges or shells which are factory made to exacting
specifications to ensure consistent shooting performance, muzzleloading
requires that you create your own load for each shot. The performance,
safety and consistency of each shot depends entirely upon your following
these instructions precisely. Failure to do so can result in accidental
death or serious injury.
Warning
Before charging your muzzleloading rifle for the first time, it is very
important that you perform the following steps. Failure to do so may
damage your firearm and can result in accidental death or serious injury.
1. Make sure the safety is set to the ON position.
Open the breech and use the breech plug
wrench to carefully remove the breech plug.
Using a cleaning rod and a
patch, make sure the
barrel is clear of all oil. Oil can affect the
performance of the Pyrodex and sabot bullet and
can create a hazardous situation.
2. Once the barrel is clean, apply a very light coating of oil to the
threads of the breech plug and replace in breech, tightening securely.
It is necessary to recoat the threads with oil regularly to ensure easy
removal.
