Manual

Suggested Loads For

The Thompson/Center

Omega Muzzleloader

The following charts show recommended charges using Black Powder or Pyrodex

as a propellant for Thompson/Center Omega muzzleloading rifles. Charges are listed by

caliber, powder charge and type of projectile.

Note that in each instance a series of charges are listed. More than one charge is

shown in each category to clearly illustrate the safe loading range for that particular cal-

iber, model and projectile.

Maximum loads are not to be exceeded nor is a substitution of powder or

granulations to be attempted! Only use loads that are listed for your particu-

lar caliber, model and bullet style. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS

MAY RESULT IN INJURY AND/OR DEATH TO THE SHOOTER OR BYSTANDERS

AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.

The shooter is instructed to start with the lightest charge listed. As you become famil-

iar with the firearm, increase your charges gradually until you reach your best perform-

ing load (most accurate). Thompson/Center Arms is not responsible for loading informa-

tion printed in sources other than this booklet.

NOTE: All loading data contained in this book is the result of testing by Thomp-

son/Center Arms. Testing was done under carefully controlled conditions with the com-

ponents specified in the text. 28 inch barrels were used to produce the data (unless oth-

erwise specified).

Since Thompson/Center has no control over the components or equipment which

may be used with this information, no responsibility is implied or assumed for the results

obtained.

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.
