handled easier with gloves when in hunting situations. Thirdly, they are 10 times

hotter than a #11 percussion cap which gives a more reliable ignition. Your new

break-open riﬂe uses a 209 primer. When capping your muzzleloader please follow

these instructions: Only cap or prime your muzzleloader after you have loaded the

riﬂe and you are ready to shoot.

1. Make sure that the manual safety on your

muzzleloader is in the “safe” position.

2. Point the muzzleloader in a safe direction.

3. Keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe

direction, open the action to expose

the breech area. Using a 209 capper or

your ﬁngers, press the primer into the

nipple opening in the breech plug. Close

the gun. Make sure that the action is

completely closed. When you are

ready to ﬁre the muzzleloader, place the

safety in the “ﬁre” position and cock

the hammer.

4. Your muzzleloader is now ready to ﬁre.

xIII. DECAPPING YOUR MUZZLELOADER

AFTER FIRING:

1. Press action release button and open barrel to expose primer.

2. Using a de-priming tool or ﬁnger, remove the spent primer.

If your muzzleloader fails to ﬁre:

Anyone involved with muzzleloading ﬁrearms may experience a hangﬁre or misﬁre.

The following are a few simple procedures that will help you to effectively manage

such occurrences.

xIV. HANGFIRES & MISFIRES

Hangﬁre:

A hangﬁre is a delayed ignition. The primer ﬁres when the trigger is pulled and

the main charge ﬁres a brief moment later. There are many reasons that hangﬁres

occur. If you are experiencing hangﬁres, there are possible causes that you need to

evaluate. Verify the following:

1. Verify that the primer is the correct size and properly ﬁtted onto the nipple.

2. Inspect that the ignition channel is clear of obstructions.

3. Verify that the proper propellant is being used and that it is the proper

granulation and is free from moisture, contamination and oils.

4. Check the condition of the primers and propellant powder. For hunting

situations, it is a wise practice to use fresh primers and powder. Use a fresh

load for each day’s hunting.

Misﬁre:

A misﬁre is a failure of either the primer or the main charge to ignite. This could be

a very hazardous situation. Extreme caution should be exercised when dealing with

a misﬁre. Rarely is a misﬁre the fault of the riﬂe. Generally, it can be attributed to a

problem with the propellant or primer. Should your gun fail to ﬁre for any reason,

keep the muzzle pointed at your down-range target for at least one minute with the

action closed. By doing so, you make sure you are prepared for the chance of a

delayed ignition.

If the percussion cap/primer did not ﬁre:

1. Check to make certain that a primer was installed and is still securely

positioned on nipple.

2. Verify that the striker face is free of debris.

3. Try a new primer.

If the primer ﬁres but the main charge does not:

1. Remove the primer while keeping the barrel pointed in a safe direction. Using

a cleaning pick, verify that the hole in the breech plug is clear of

any obstruction.

2. Tap the butt pad of the riﬂe with your hand to direct the powder into the

ignition channel. If you are using pellets this process will not help.

3. Verify that propellant was loaded under your projectile by running the ramrod

down the muzzle and observing the measure marks on your ramrod. Use

extreme caution to always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

4. Check for any mechanical defects in the breech area. If your gun has

repeatedly failed to ﬁre, you will need to unload the riﬂe. See Section XV.

At this point a beginning shooter should seek assistance from an experienced

shooter. Never leave an unﬁred charge in the barrel.

5. After verifying the above directions re-prime the muzzleloader and ﬁre.
