NOTE: The loading data found in this manual was compiled using Black Powder or Pyrodex as a propellant. With any other approved Black Powder Substitute follow the instructions supplied by the manufacturer and heed all warnings as they apply to loading and usage of that product. This booklet contains information that is essential to the safe use and maintenance of Thompson/Center’s modern-style in-line muzzleloaders with removable breech plugs and fixed barrels.
General Rules for Use and Handling of Thompson/Center Black Powder Muzzleloading Firearms 1 If you are unfamiliar with muzzleloading firearms seek professional instruction. Qualified organizations such as local gun clubs, The National Rifle Association, The National Muzzleloading Rifle Association and state Hunter Safety Programs offer approved courses which teach safe gun handling and proper hunting procedure.
in muzzleloading firearms as opposed to smokeless powder which is manufactured for use in metallic cartridges or shotshells. NO smokeless powder, even those which appear black in color, should ever be used in a muzzleloading firearm. Be sure you know what type and granulation of powder you are loading. Never buy or use powder unless you have seen it poured from the original manufacturer’s container which is clearly identified on the label.
In the “at rest” position, the hammer is held off the firing pin by the automatic hammer block, preventing the hammer from contacting the firing pin. WARNING: The T/C Omega should be carried with the hammer in the at rest position, with no 209 shotshell primer installed in the breech plug. The primer should be installed and the hammer cocked only when you are ready to fire. Failure to follow this rule may cause serious injury and/or death to the shooter or bystanders and damage to property.
to follow this rule may cause serious injury and/or death to the shooter or bystanders and damage to property. 13 Never attempt to clean a charged or primed muzzleloading firearm. 14 Wear protective gear when firing your muzzleloading firearm. Always wear shooting glasses to protect your eyesight from air borne particles and ear protectors to guard against hearing loss due to loud noise when firing your muzzleloader.
19 Know the condition of your muzzleloading firearm before charging, priming or firing. Function the hammer and trigger of your gun to be sure that the parts are working properly before loading a charge. Be sure the muzzleloading firearm is properly loaded. Use recommended loads of BLACK POWDER OR AN APPROVED BLACK POWDER SUBSTITUTE, SUCH AS PYRODEX ONLY for your specific model and caliber.

Basic Equipment For Shooting Your Thompson/Center Omega Muzzleloader In order to shoot your T/C Omega muzzleloader, a minimum of accessories or equipment will be necessary, these items include the following: Do Not attempt to shoot your muzzleloading firearm until you have read this manual in its entirety and understood it fully. FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE, CAUSING INJURY AND/OR DEATH TO THE SHOOTER OR BYSTANDERS AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
Understanding Black Powder or an approved Black Powder Substitute, Such As Pyrodex™ Make no mistake about it, Black Powder or an approved Black Powder substitute, such as Pyrodex®, are the only propellant powders that are safe to use in a muzzleloading firearm. Oh, you will hear, or possibly read, advice to the contrary but don’t follow it for you will never hear such advice from a competent source.
They should never be used in a muzzleloading firearm of any type. Some of these powders are “Black” in color making proper identification extremely important. It is the characteristic of Smokeless Powders to burn in a controlled manner within a given pressure range. Control of this pressure range requires the proper application of the powder to the specific purpose and in the quantities for which it was designed to be used.
Black Powder Chart Showing The Appropriate Use Of The Various Granulations FG (commonly called Single “F”) The muzzleloading enthusiast finds little use for this very coarse black powder. It’s use is restricted to the large bore (10, 8, 4 gauge) shotguns of yesterday. FFG (commonly called Double “F”) This is a very popular powder for the larger (.45 to .58 cal) rifles. It is also used for 12, 16, and 20 gauge muzzleloading shotguns.
When purchasing Black Powder be certain that it is in the original manufacturer’s container and that its granulation or type is clearly marked on the label. Follow the storage and handling precautions which are on the label. If you have any questions concerning the safe handling or storage of Black Powder, write to the manufacturer of the powder. Additional information on powder storage is available from the National Fire Protection Association, P.O. Box 9146, Quincy, Mass. 02269. Or call 1-800-344-3555.
PYRODEX™ Chart Showing Appropriate Use Of The Various Grades PYRODEX® CTG - FOR BLACK POWDER CARTRIDGES. This powder was designed to be used in early model breech loading cartridge firearms (rifles, pistols & shotguns) which were intended for use with Black Powder only. It has no application in Thompson/Center muzzleloading firearms. It is listed here simply for identification purposes. PYRODEX® RS (or PYRODEX SELECT “RS”) RIFLE & SHOTGUN POWDER.
Ignition in a Muzzleloader Considering that Black Powder ignites easily and burns almost instantaneously, it would not seem that ignition could create problems for the muzzleloading enthusiast. Yet, it was in the age of Black Powder that such terms as misfire, hangfire and flash in the pan found their origins. The problem, of course, is that the muzzleloader requires a great deal more care in its cleaning and handling than does a modern cartridge firearm (see section on “Cleaning Your Muzzleloading Firearm.
Black Powder Pressures And Velocities It is not the purpose of this manual to delve deeply into the complex subject of chamber pressure or how it relates to all firearms. There are, however, some basic differences between a muzzleloader and a modern cartridge firearm. The reader must understand and respect these differences if he or she is to use their T/C muzzleloader in a safe manner. Shooting muzzleloading firearms requires rethinking all that you have learned about firearms.
sure will flow back through every seam in the action possibly destroying the firearm and causing injury to the shooter The propellant charge in a muzzleloader is poured directly into the barrel of the firearm and then compressed by the projectile in the chamber area. Think about this for a minute! Lacking the restraints and protection supplied by a modern cartridge case, the muzzleloading charge rests directly against the steel chamber walls and the face of the breech plug.
comes impossible to properly seat the projectile. This is especially true when firing modern plastic sabots. For optimum accuracy in a range situation, the bore should be swabbed after each shot. Pressures will then be more consistent, and better accuracy will result. In a hunting situation, this will be impractical, and 1, 2, or even 3 shots may have to be taken without swabbing the bore.
pulled fully rearward. (See diagrams below) When the shooter pulls the hammer back only part of the way, without pulling the trigger, you will notice that the hammer block, which is an integral part of the trigger, is automatically in a “blocking position”, preventing the hammer from going forward and making contact with the firing pin.
T/C Omega in the “Fired” Position Hammer Makes Contact With Firing Pin which ignites the 209 Primer Trigger is Held Fully Rearward By The Shooter's Finger Automatic Hammer Block Is Held Out Of The Way, Allowing The Hammer To Bypass It. T/C Omega in the “At Rest” Position Hammer Does Not Contact Firing Pin Trigger in Fully Forward Position Automatic Hammer Block Engages Hammer, Blocking it From Reaching the Firing Pin. Never prime your Omega muzzleloader until you are ready to fire it.
The photo on page 25 shows a shooter in the process of loading a Omega muzzleloader. Study this photo carefully and read all the captions before you proceed to charge your Omega muzzleloader rifle. Before charging your Omega, open the action (swing the breech block down) by pivoting the trigger guard forward. Look into the breech plug primer pocket and check to make sure there is no primer in the pocket.
T/C Omega Loading Diagram Stay mentally alert. This task requires your complete attention. IMPROPERLY CHARGING YOUR T/C OMEGA MUZZLELOADING RIFLE CAN BE DANGEROUS. STUDY THIS PHOTO CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING. Eyes, ears & arms protected. Barrel held securely with muzzle upwards - directed away from your body. Do Not Smoke while loading any muzzleloader. Use Black Powder or an approved Black Powder substitute, such as Pyrodex® ONLY! Use a T/C graduated powder measure only and do not overcharge.
Loading Sabots When Using Loose Black Powder or Granular Pyrodex® The procedures for loading sabots or conical bullets when using loose Black Powder or Pyrodex are basically the same as when using Pyrodex Pellets; the only difference being that instead of dropping Pyrodex pellets down the bore, you will be pouring premeasured charges of Black Powder (FFG) or Pyrodex (RS) powder. As with pellets, care should be taken to seat the sabot firmly against the powder. Do not pound it.
PHOTO A Using short strokes with the ramrod, push the projectile down the barrel and to seat it against the powder charge. PROJECTILES MUST ALWAYS BE SEATED FIRMLY AGAINST THE POWDER CHARGE. After the projectile is seated tightly against the charge, mark your ramrod to indicate the correct loaded depth of the powder plus the projectile (as shown below) PHOTO B Mark the ramrod at the muzzle. Use a pencil to mark the ramrod. This will allow you to ensure that each projectile is seated to the same depth.
Loading Sabots or Conical Bullets with Pyrodex® Pellets If you are loading sabots like T/C’s Mag Express 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 two 50 grain Pyrodex pellets, dropping each pellet down the bore with the black end going in first. The black end actually contains black powder, which acts as the igniter.
Once the projectile is in the bore, using short strokes with your ramrod, push the projectile the remainder of the way down the bore, until it makes contact with the Pyrodex pellets. Seat firmly, but do not pound on it, as this will likely crush the Pyrodex pellets, which will affect accuracy and the reliability of ignition. It could also deform the bullet. (See Photo C) Photo C Use the ramrod to push the projectile down the barrel and seat it against the Pyrodex pellets.
Priming Your Charged T/C Omega muzzleloader. If you have followed the preceding instructions your firearm will now be charged with Black Powder or Pyrodex and a projectile will be firmly seated against the powder charge. Your ramrod will be marked to the exact seating depth allowing you to ensure that each future projectile is seated in the same careful manner. Do not prime the firearm until you are actually ready to fire and you have double checked to ensure that the ramrod has been removed from the bore.
using your fingers - or use the 209 primer/depriming tool provided with your rifle, or sold as an accessory. Slide a 209 primer into the slot as shown in the diagram. Place the protruding part of the primer into the hole in the breech plug. Once the primer has been inserted, pull the tool away from the gun while leaving the 209 primer in the breech plug’s primer pocket. To remove a spent 209 primer, or a live 209 primer, use the forked end of the tool. Push this forked end under the rim of the primer.
Summary of Charging & Priming Your Thompson/Center Omega Muzzleloader 1. Check to ensure that the firearm is uncharged. 2. Wipe the bore free of all oil. 3. Pointing the muzzle in a safe direction, snap several #209 shotshell primers in the breech plug, clearing away any oil residue which may be in the rifle’s fire channel. 4. Ensure that the action is open. 5. Set firearm on its butt, holding muzzle away from your face and body. 6.
Pulling a Charge From Your Thompson/Center Omega Muzzleloader Never attempt to pull a charge from your Omega muzzleloader until you are absolutely certain that the firearm is deprimed (209 primer has been removed). While in the process of pulling the charge (removing the breech plug) do not smoke, or be near anyone else smoking; the spark from a lighted cigarette, cigar, or pipe can ignite black powder, Pyrodex, percussion caps or primers.
T/C Omega muzzleloader TAKEDOWN PROCEDURE 1st Step – Open the breech; make sure that the gun is unprimed. 2nd Step – Remove the barrel/action assembly from the stock. Remove the ramrod 3rd Step – Remove the breech plug, making sure that the muzzle is pointing in a safe direction. 4th Step – Once the breech plug has been removed, point the muzzle up. Gravity should then cause the Pyrodex pellets to drop out, or the loose powder to pour out.
5. Once the powder has been soaked for 1/2 hour and rendered inert, try pulling the projectile from the bore by using your ramrod (or a range rod) with a bullet puller. Screw the bullet puller onto your rod, insert from the muzzle end, and when you make contact with the projectile, turn the rod clockwise, screwing the bullet puller into the projectile. Once screwed into the projectile, pull the projectile out. If you are using a sabot, make sure that both the projectile and the sabot are pulled out. 6.
Cleaning Your Thompson/Center T/C Omega Muzzleloader Never attempt to clean a charged or primed muzzleloading firearm. AN ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE CAN CAUSE INJURY AND/OR DEATH TO THE SHOOTER OR BYSTANDERS AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. General Comments on Cleaning Black powder and Pyrodex are very corrosive, and the fouling or residue left over in the bore after firing your firearm can be destructive to the steel, causing oxidation, rust, and pitting.
However, if shooting sabots like T/C’s Mag Express Sabots, any lubricant used to protect the bore should be removed prior to actually loading and shooting sabots. The very nature of what a sabot is ie a plastic sleeve encompassing a bullet, calls for as dry a bore as possible for maximum accuracy. Because of that fact, there will be more fouling build up (including plastic), and swabbing the bore will have to be done more frequently.
Use a jag, or a worm if you don’t have a jag, and a patch saturated with a bore cleaner like T/C’s No.13 bore cleaner. Run it down from the muzzle end a few times to remove the fouling. (Photo A). Photo A Use a Jag for field cleaning (a Patchpuller Worm will also work if you don’t have a Jag with you. Number 13 Bore Cleaner. is specifically designed for cleaning Black Powder or Pyrodex® fouling. After removing all the fouling, follow up with a few dry patches to thoroughly dry the bore.
1. You may disassemble your Omega muzzleloader as detailed on pages 10 and 11 of this manual - or, merely lower the swinging breech to expose the breech plug. 2. Using the in-line muzzleloader breech plug wrench, remove the breech plug by turning it counter-clockwise (as viewed from the nipple end). It will be necessary to overcome the initial resistance caused by the barrel to breech plug seal.
7. Your T/C Omega muzzleloader may now be reassembled in the reverse order of the takedown procedure detailed on page 8 and 9. 8. After your T/C Omega muzzleloader has been reassembled, check that there is no excess lubricant on the surface of the mechanism which could impede safe performance. Check for proper functioning of the hammer/trigger mechanism prior to loading and firing.
Using Cleaning Implements With Your Thompson/Center Omega Muzzleloader Thompson/Center muzzleloading rifles and pistols are supplied with a cleaning jag which is the proper size for the particular caliber. For cleaning use commercial cleaning patches (round or square) or pieces of discarded clothing. When using the cleaning jag,keep in mind that patch size and thickness are important. Start with a patch that is approximately 2 1/2" square (or in diameter).
Iron Sight Adjustment For The T/C Omega Muzzleloader T/C Omega muzzleloaders are equipped with one of two styles of standard rifle rear sight (See Illustrations Below) which are adjustable for elevation and windage. For Style 1 To adjust elevation, moving the elevation “blade” up or down changes the point of impact. To do this, turn the Elevation Adjustment Screw clockwise (as viewed from the receiver end) to lower the point of impact, and counter-clockwise, to raise the point of impact.
Mounting A Scope On The T/C Omega Muzzleloader Do not drill additional holes in the barrel as this could weaken its structure and contribute to a rupture CAUSING INJURY AND/OR DEATH TO THE SHOOTER OR BYSTANDERS AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. The barrel is factory drilled and tapped for T/C mounts. The (1-Piece) Weaver-Style Mounts which are appropriate for this rifle are T/C Part No.9899 (Blue) and T/C Part No.9907 (Silver).
For your protection, examine your firearm carefully at the time of purchase. Fill out and mail the registration card promptly. Be certain that it bears the firearm’s serial number which you will find on the receiver. Thompson/Center does not approve or recommend any type of custom conversion or alteration other than those performed by the T/C Custom Shop. Muzzleloading firearms subjected to alteration are not covered by our factory warranty.
