This could result in an air space between the components.Under such a condition, one or more of the components may act as a barrelobstruction and firing can result in a damaged firearm and POSSIBLEINJURY OR DEATH TO THE SHOOTER OR BYSTANDERS AND DAM-AGE TO PROPERTY.To properly assemble your T/CBreak-O-Way Sabot, position thetwo sabot halves together forming acomplete sabot cup. Press thewoven wool “doughnut” firmly onthe base, allowing the flange to protrudethrough the hole. Your sabotis now ready to accept a .429" -.430" diameter .44 cal bullet.

Using bullets of lesser diameter may cause the bullet to separatefrom the sabot resulting in a barrel obstruction. Using bullets of largerdiameter could result in difficult loading, or a condition where the sabotis not seated all the way down in the powder charge, resulting in a barrelobstruction. Either case can result in a damaged firearm and POSSI-BLE INJURY AND/OR DEATH TO THE SHOOTER OR BYSTANDERSAND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.The photo on page 26 pictures a shooter in the process of loading a muzzleloadingrifle.
