When charging your T/C Muzzleloading Shotgun, adjust your powdermeasure to the desired charge and fill it with FFG Black Powder or anapproved Black Powder substitute, such as Pyrodex®). To achieve accuracyand uniform patterns, consistency in the powder charge is required. Fill themeasure exactly the same each time. The use of the Part #7040 T/C Measureis recommended because it will measure both the powder and shot inthe increments specified in our data section.Pour the measured powder charge down the barrel and strike the sideof the barrel several sharp raps with the heel of your hand to settle the powderin the chamber area.Start the over powder wad or wads into the muzzle as shown in photo“B”. (When using two Natural Wads, put them together and insert them together“as one wad”). Once the wad or wads are started, it will move easilydown the barrel. Holding the ramrod about 4" up from the bottom, push thewad or wads down the barrel as shown in photo “C”. Then, using shortstrokes of the ramrod, slowly push the wad or wads the remainder of the waydown the barrel until it contacts and bears firmly against the powder charge.Bear in mind that air is trapped underneath the wad or wads as you load itso you must push slowly...allowing time for this trapped air to bleed offaround the wad or wads.

Load this “over shot wad”with the same care you used in seating your “over powder wad”. Allow timefor trapped air to bleed off and seat the wad firmly against the shot charge.See photo “E”.47
