Manual

The preceding text is offered in an attempt to guide the novice and to
help him obtain optimum results from his muzzleloading firearm. The read-
er must bear in mind that a muzzleloader is not capable of developing the
high velocity or handling the high pressures of a modern firearm. Restrict-
ed to a primitive design, the muzzleloading hunter takes game by depend-
ing upon a large caliber, heavy bullet traveling at a mild velocity.
Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated
areas, cleaning firearms or handling
ammunition may result in exposure to lead
and other substances known to cause birth
defects, reproductive harm and other serious
physical injury. Have adequate ventilation at
all times. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure.
