c. Pour powder from your Traditions flask into the desired powder charge. Pour powder
from the powder measure down the barrel.

! WARNING

Never load powder into a gun directly from a can, powder horn or

flask. Always use a separate calibrated powder measuring device. A remaining
spark or ember in the barrel may cause injury or death to you, bystanders and
destroy the firearm.

d. Tap the side of the barrel to settle the powder into the breech area.

When loading pelletized powder (Pellets):

a. Drop the desired amount of pellets into
the barrel with the igniter side down.
Using a pipe cleaner to handle the pellets makes it easier to load and keeps oil from your
hands off the pellet.

! IMPORTANT

Do not break or crush the pellets when loading or seating the

projectile on top of the pellets. This could cause inconsistent groups.

LOADING THE PROJECTILE:

Note: Your muzzleloader is equipped with the Projectile Alignment System (PAS), which
helps ensure correct placement of the bullet in the muzzle. Saboted Bullets: The plastic
material used in our Traditions sabots is self-lubricating; therefore you need not pre-lube
your bullets or sabots.
1. Insert the base of the bullet into the sabot, making certain the bullet is firmly
& fully seated against the bottom of the sabot.
