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. Keep in mind however that when loading becomes

increasingly more difficult, it is because of fouling building up and accuracy will suffer.

Any increase in bullet weight with a given powder charge will increase pressure. If a

shooter has been loading a 240 grain bullet and sabot combination and then decides to

use the heavier 300 grain bullet/sabot combination, he must go back to the starting

charge and work up slowly to the best performing load.

Improper loading can lead to a serious and dangerous pressure condition. To func-

tion properly the muzzleloading projectile must be seated tightly against the powder

charge. Never fire a muzzleloading firearm if the projectile is only part way

down the barrel. Mark your ramrod, as explained in the “Loading Section”, and follow

instructions carefully.

Variations in patch lubricants and bullet lubricants will effect velocity and accuracy,

as well as having an effect on the amount of fouling which develops. Use of T/C’s Natural

Lube 1000 Plus Bore Butter, an all natural lubricant, developed far less fouling, and per-

mitted extended reloading between shots without the necessity to clean between these

shots when used with our all-lead conical bullets. Velocity and accuracy improved over

other lubricants used. However, when using jacketed bullets in plastic sabots, lubricating

the barrel is not recommended, as accuracy is sure to suffer as a result. Sabots should be

loaded without being lubed and any lube in the bore should be removed prior to loading

a sabot.

Understanding

The Hammer/Trigger Mechanism

of the T/C Omega Muzzleloader

The T/C Omega represents an all-new concept in muzzleloading firearms. The T/C

Omega has several design features which are different than traditional muzzleloading

firearms, and must be understood before you attempt to use and fire your T/C Omega.

The Omega’s entire action has only 4 moving parts, 2 of which are the patented trig-

ger mechanism (Pat #4,854,065) consisting of the trigger and the hammer. The design

makes it possible for the hammer to strike the firing pin only when the trigger has been
