Loading Sabots or Conical Bullets
with Pyrodex
®
or Triple Seven Pellets
If you are loading Thompson/Center Sabots, make sure that the bore has been
swabbed and that all of the oil or lube has been removed. The drier the bore, the better,
as this will improve accuracy.
Start by loading (2) 50 grain Pellets, dropping each pellet down the bore.
Insert your sabot (with bullet installed) or conical bullet into the muzzle using your
fingers. Push the projectile into the barrel as far as you can, until it stops. This portion of
the muzzle is the recessed portion of T/C’s QLA Muzzle System. Your projectile is now per-
fectly aligned to the center axis of the bore, surrounded by 360
0
of barrel.

Choking up on your ramrod, or with a short starter, drive the projectile into the
bore. There will be a minimal amount of resistance to overcome initially. (See Photo B)
