WARNING

The information presented in this brochure is base upon results obtained in our ballistics laboratory, and is offered as an aid to shooters to be employed at their own discretion and risk. Safe loading practices should be observed at all times. Since we have no control over the circumstances of loading, we assume no liability for the results obtained, and we guarantee only that our powder meets our exacting standards.

IMR® POWDER BALLISTIC DATA

Ballistic data shown in this brochure has been developed in our laboratory under strictly controlled conditions. Ballistic data can vary considerably depending on many factors including components used, how such components are assembled, degree of fouling or leading of the barrel, the type of firearm used, and the loading techniques and safety precautions utilized by the individual.

NEVER MIX ANY TWO POWDERS REGARDLESS OF TYPE, BRAND OR SOURCE. NEVER substitute any smokeless powder for muzzleloading powders.

STORAGE OF IMR® POWDERS

Do not store powder with other combustible materials. Always keep the container of IMR powder tightly closed to prevent spillage or contamination of the powder. Keep all powders in their original containers with proper warning labels.

Powders should not be exposed to open flame, sparks, heat, impact, friction or allowed to become contaminated with oil, grease, dirt, sand, or any other foreign materials, or left open or exposed to humid conditions. Keep lid on the can when not being used. Powders should not be stored in glass containers. Stacks should be rotated. (Use oldest first.)

USING IMR® POWDERS

Know and use safe operating methods when handling and loading powder.
Do not increase loads past the recommendations found in this brochure.
Very low pressure loads may leave a bullet or wad lodged in the barrel creating a danger when the next round is fired.
No filler materials are required. Improper fillers may alter the burning characteristics of powders.

CAUTION: NEVER smoke or use any source of accidental ignition while loading, shooting or handling IMR powders.

Clean up any spilled powder - do not use a vacuum cleaner.
If you are not willing to accept the responsibilities involved in the safe handling and use of IMR powders, return the powder to the place of purchase for a full refund of the purchase price. If you have any questions about the safe use of our products, contact IMR.

Handle powder with care and keep powder out of reach of children and people who are not aware of the hazards involved! Do not take powder internally. Failure to use powder in accordance with our instructions and data may result in severe personal injury or death to user and/or bystander. Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms, or handling ammunition may result in exposure to lead and other substances known to cause birth defects, reproductive harm, and other serious physical injury. Have adequate ventilation at all times. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure.
