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. Because black powder ignites at a lower temperature than Pyrodex, this will

increase reliable ignition significantly.

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

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)
