General Safety
Guidelines
Important Safety and Health Precautions
To
perform in a gun, powders must ignite easily and burn rapidly.
These characteristics require use of common sense to avoid
accidents.
YOU
MUST OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS:
-
DO NOT smoke when
reloading.
-
DO NOT use
spark-producing tools.
-
DO NOT mix powders
of different kinds.
-
DO NOT leave
powder where children can get it.
-
DO NOT try to load
when distracted.
-
Avoid an open fire
or working near spark-producing machinery.
-
Pour out only the
amount of powder needed for immediate work.
-
Check the powder
measure each time it is used. Make sure the settings have not
been accidentally changed. Check-weigh "thrown charges"
frequently.
-
Clean up any
spilled powders. Use a brush and dustpan; do not use a vacuum
cleaner.
-
Store powder only
in its original container, which was carefully designed for this
usage. DO NOT REPACKAGE. Do not purchase or accept any powder
not in its original, FACTORY-SEALED container.
-
Be sure the powder
container is completely empty before discarding. Do not use the
container to store other powders or materials, or for any other
purpose.
-
Always keep in
mind that smokeless powder is an explosive material and highly
flammable. It should always be stored and handled in such a way
as to avoid impact, friction, heat, sparks, or flame.
-
Wear safety
glasses when reloading.
-
This material
contains nitroglycerin. Inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion
may cause severe headache, nausea, and lowering of blood
pressure.
THEREFORE, THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS
MUST BE OBSERVED WHEN HANDLING POWDERS:
-
Do not take
internally. In case of ingestion, cause vomiting. Call a
physician.
-
Avoid
contamination of food, beverages, or smoking materials.
-
Avoid breathing
dust. Ensure adequate ventilation during handling.
-
Wash thoroughly
after handling and before eating, drinking, or smoking.
-
Do not carry
powder in clothing.
You must also always remember:
-
Establish a
routine for reloading. It will result in more uniform loads and
less chance of error.
-
Some primers are
more powerful than others (they produce more gas at a higher
temperature). Use only the primers specified herein.
-
Shotshell wads
differ in their sealing ability. Use only the load combinations
specified herein.
-
If you use cast
bullets, their diameter, hardness, lubrication, and crimp will
affect the ballistics.
-
With the exception
of data in the "Non-Toxic Shotshell" reloading data section, the
shotshell loads in this booklet are for use with LEAD SHOT ONLY!
-
Use only the
brands of powder and components shown in our tables. Do not
substitute other types.
-
Discharging
firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms, or
handling ammunition may result in exposure to lead, a substance
known to cause birth defects, reproductive harm, and other
serious physical injury. Have adequate ventilation at all times.
Wash hands and face thoroughly after handling and before coming
in contact with food, chewing materials, and smoking material.
