Special Rules for Muzzleloading

Post by knightrifles » September 27th, 2018, 3:04 pm

If you are using the Knight KP1 for muzzleloading, be sure to read the special safety rules below, as there may be features or functions of this product that you are not familiar with, even if you are proficient with other firearms or muzzleloaders. A muzzleloader can seriously or fatally injure you or bystanders due to accidental firing when it is primed with a priming device but not loaded, when it is loaded with powder and a projectile but not primed, or when it is both primed and loaded.

Improper loading can cause your rifle to fire accidentally or explode. Follow these safety rules regarding loading and the loading procedures in this document.

• Never use smokeless powder.
• Always swab the barrel with a moistened patch between shots to clean out hot embers that could ignite powder.
• Never exceed the recommended maximum powder charge. Please see page 15 for
recommended load limits of Black Powder FFg, or industry approved black powder
substitute by volume or its equivalent for Knight Rifles.
• Make sure your KP1 is unloaded before attempting to load.
• Never install a primer on the breech plug nipple before loading.
• Be sure that the barrel and nipple flash channel are clear of any obstruction.
• Never use lubricants when shooting any of Knight’s sabot/bullets™.
• Be sure the bullet is firmly seated on the powder charge.
