Ammunition
1. This muzzleloading rifle is designed to utilize only Pyrodex™ 50
grain pellets, Barnes™ 250 or 300 grain solid copper hollow point
sabot projectiles and 209 shotgun primers. The maximum load is
three (3) 50 grain Pyrodex pellets. The recommended load is two
(2) 50 grain Pyrodex pellets. Use of any other black powder
equivalent or projectiles is dangerous and may result in accidental
death or serious injury. Use only new, good condition primers. DO
NOT USE SMOKELESS POWDERS IN THIS GUN. Use of old or
damaged primers or the use of smokeless powder in this
muzzleloading rifle can result in death or serious injury.
2. Use only high quality, original, factory-manufactured ammunition,
projectiles and Pyrodex pellets. Do not use shot shells or cartridges
that are dirty, wet, corroded, bent or damaged. Do not use damaged,
wet, rusted or otherwise imperfect projectiles. Do not oil shot shells
or cartridges. Do not spray aerosol type lubricants, preservatives, or
cleaners directly onto shot shells or cartridges or where excess spray
may flow into contact with shells or cartridges. Lubricant or other
foreign matter on shot shells or cartridges can cause potentially
dangerous ammunition malfunctions. Use only ammunition of the
gauge for which your firearm is chambered. The proper gauge is
permanently engraved on your firearm; never attempt to use
ammunition of any other gauge. This shotgun is suitable for use of
factory loaded shot shells or cartridges containing steel shot.
3. The use of reloaded, “remanufactured”, hand-loaded, or other non-
standard ammunition voids all warranties. Improperly loaded
ammunition voids all warranties. Use of hand cast projectiles in the
muzzleloading rifle voids all warranties. Hand cast projectiles can
cause damage to the firearm and accidental death or serious injury.
Improperly loaded ammunition can be extremely dangerous. Severe
damage to the firearm and serious injury to the shooter or to others
may result. Always use ammunition that complies with the industry
performance standards established by the Sporting Arms and
Ammunition Manufacturers Institute, Inc., of the United States,
(SAAMI) or the equivalent from other countries.
