Loading When you are sure that barrels and nipples are free from any obstruction and reasonably clean:

I - Verify that hammers are totally lowered upon the nipples, and not cocked or half- cocked.
2 - Pour black powder down the barrels, using the given measure; make quite sure that you are using proper black powder and that and you have dosed it correctly. 3 - Place the wad over the muzzle.
4 - Press the wad down onto the powder with the ramrod.
5 - Load the correct quantity of shot, using the given measure.
6 - Fit the over-shot wad over the muzzle and ram it down firmly, so that the shot will not fall out.
7 - Pull the hammer back into the half-cock position.
8 - Place the percussion caps over the nipples.
