Using the wrong ammunition, mix- If fo ing ammunition or using improperly reloaded ammunition can cause serious personal injury or death. And Com it only takes one cartridge or shotshell of the incorrect caliber or gauge, or which has been improperly face reloaded, to destroy your firearm. It's your responsibility to make sure the ammunition you use exactly disp matches the caliber or gauge of your firearm. Refer to this instruction book to find out the specific require- is lo ments of your firearm. Always read and heed the instructions on ammunition boxes. as if Confusing shells or cartridges can cause serious personal injury or death and destroy your firearm. Examine your shells or cartridges closely and use only the precise caliber or gauge for your specific firearm. For example, suppose you accidentally loaded a 20 ga. shell into a 12 ga. shotgun. Because the 20 ga. shell is too small for the chamber, the 20 ga. shell could travel down the barrel and get lodged in the bore. If You you then loaded a standard 12 ga. shell behind it and fired, the 12 ga. shot will slam into the lodged 20 all t ga. shell and may cause the barrel to explode right in your hand. This is commonly called a 12/20 burst, clay and it can kill you. twig Check all ammunition before you load it to make sure it matches your firearm's requirements. Every cartridge whe and shell is head-stamped with its caliber or gauge for easy identification. Likewise, you'll find the caliber (like or gauge of your new Marlin firearm imprinted on the barrel. eye rang reloading requires extra diligence. set. If you're an ammunition reloader, you are responsible for personally assuring that the loads and components of your reloaded ammunition meet your firearm's factory-tested standards. Never use ammunition, which has been reloaded by someone else! Many shooters handload as a hobby or to save money on commercial, factory-made ammunition. However, Befo it requires a thorough knowledge of reloading procedures and a deep respect for the explosive potential mag of gunpowder. exc bulg Firearms are designed, manufactured and proof-tested to standards based on factory-loaded ammunition. othe Handloaded or reloaded ammunition that deviates, either intentionally or accidentally, from load or com- ano ponent recommendations can be very dangerous. Whe Reloaders must observe all possible safety precautions and practices related to the proper handling of thin explosives. Whether you're a seasoned reloader or just starting out, you should study the subject, watch burs reloading demonstrations and talk to experienced reloaders. corr The first rule of reloading is to always follow the manufacturer's instructions for the components you're using. They'll tell you to follow certain guidelines. Namely: 1. Don't mix or substitute powders or primers. 2. Don't use unknown or substandard components. 3. Use only suitable components that have been factory-tested by reputable ammunition, Your powder and bullet manufacturers. ardi 4. Always be sure to use the manufacturer's recommended recipe when reloading. ty o Not following these guidelines could result in severe injury or death to yourself or severe damage to your firearm. Dangerously high pressure and explosions can result from an overcharge of powder or other deviations from established reloading guidelines. Be very careful. The process of reloading exposes you to environmentally hazardous material. Lead, which is known to cause cancer and birth defects, is the most common substance in bullets and shot. It is important to handle lead bullets and shot with extreme care. Work only in a well-ventilated area and always wash your hands after exposure and before eating. Never smoke while reloading. Primers and powders are also highly toxic and flammable. So after reloading be sure to clean up all materials from your work area. Don't leave primer or powder spills anywhere on the floor or bench top. Dispose of all waste material in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. Finally, when reloading or handloading concentrate on what you're doing at all times. Do not be distracted And by talking to others, listening to the radio or watching TV while reloading. Never reload after consuming Mak alcoholic beverages or drugs of any kind. You are working with extremely hazardous materials and you firea can't risk even a few seconds of distraction. Remember, if you reload, you are the ammunition manufac- your turer and you are responsible for the performance and safety of your reloaded ammunition. saltw 4 r4_e7456rem_Q8:Marlin XT-Series Firearms.qxd 1/26/12 10:46 PM Page 6

If Your sight and hearing risk injury from shooting and should be protected at d 20 all times. Wear protective shooting glasses to guard against falling shot, urst, clay target chips, powder residue, ruptured cartridge cases and even twigs and branches in the field. Also be sure to wear eye protection dge when you're disassembling or cleaning a firearm so that tensioned parts iber (like springs) and cleaning solvents don't come in contact with your eyes. Continued exposure to shooting noise can permanently damage your hearing. On the range, where shooting volume is the loudest, be sure to use the maximum protection of a head- set. Learn to use ear protection at all times. ents hich 8th C o m m a n d m e n t BE SURE THE BARREL IS CLEAR OF OBSTRUCTIONS BEFORE SHOOTING. ver, Before loading your firearm, open the action and make sure there's no ammunition in the chamber or ntial magazine. Check the barrel for any obstructions or debris. Even a small amount of snow, mud, excess lubricant or grease in the bore can dangerously increase pressure and cause the barrel to bulge or burst when firing. Use a cleaning rod and patch to wipe away anti-rust compounds or any ion. other residues or obstructions in the barrel. Never try to shoot out an obstruction by loading om- another shell and firing!

When firing, rely on your instincts. If the noise or recoil of your firearm seems weak, stop every- g of thing, unload your firearm and be sure nothing is lodged in the barrel. Remember the 12/20 atch burst? That's what can happen when the barrel is obstructed. Always be sure you're using the

correct ammunition in your firearm and that it's free of obstructions. ing. 9th C o m m a n d m e n t
