Default Muzzleloadler and Life's "Don't Evers".

My ML Don't Ever is:
When first switchin' from Black Powder to 777, READ and follow directions.
Don't use your reloading scale to measure out 120 grains of 777.
-- OW!!! Call 911.

My Life's Don't Ever is:
Never tell your wife to stop splittin' wood, the noise is interrupting your a nap.

Don't ever forget where the ramrod is on the range. Especially downrange stuck in the 50 yard marker!! Ouch for sure.

Don't ever say "hold my beer and watch this".

Don't ever answer your cell phone while reloading or get distracted in any other way. You may forget exactly where you left off. Did I pour the powder? Load the bullet? LOL

ML DON'T EVER: never expect the breeze from the firing pin to ignite your powder and kill your deer when you forget to put in a primer

LIFE DON'T EVER: Never, I mean NEVER, give a 5-year-old a hammer without supervision. He/she will most definitely try to 'fix' everything in and around the house

Or let your three year old find a hacksaw. Even though he said he was just starting without you.

Do Exactly as UncleNorby say's....ALWAY's reload after a shot or you may miss the Buck of a Lifetime. Plus DONT FORGET to put a Primer in while on a Stand as your Hunting Buddies are doing a Drive and a Monster Buck walks out and gives you a Gift Shot, and all you hear is CLICK!
