Pursuit Northwest Edition™ Addendum
Note: This addendum is in replacement of the information found in
the Traditions Break Open Manual with reference to the 209
ignition and breech plug system.
CAUTION:
Be sure to completely read the information provided in the Traditions Break Open Muzzleloader
Manual. If you are still unclear on proper use please contact Traditions for more information.
Ignition:
NOTE: Breech plugs and nipples wear out over time and should be replaced periodically. We recommend that you purchase
at least one spare nipple and breech plug for use in the field or at the range. These can be purchased at your local dealer or
directly from Traditions™ at traditionsfirearms.com.
WARNING:
Before proceeding, make sure that that you have removed the “charge” from the barrel and that the firearm is unloaded. Do not
attempt to remove the nipple or breech plug before the firearm is unloaded, serious injury or death may occur.
Removal of the Nipple:
1. Make sure that the nipple is not capped or primed.
2. Push the action release lever to open the action and expose the nipple and breech plug.
3. Insert the breech plug wrench over the nipple and make sure it is seated fully.
4. Insert the handle into the hole at the rear of the breech plug wrench and unscrew the nipple counter clockwise.
Removal of the Breech Plug:
1. Insert the larger end of the breech plug wrench over the breech plug and make sure it is fully seated.
2. Insert the handle into the hole at the rear of the breech plug wrench and unscrew the breech plug counter clockwise. It
may require some extra force to remove the breech plug after shooting.
3. If for some reason you are unable to remove the breech plug or nipple, please refer to Section VIII of you owners manual
for additional instructions.
Installation of the Breech Plug and Nipple:
1. Make sure that the threads of both the breech plug and the nipple are clean of all debris and fouling. Be sure to clean the
threads inside the barrel of any debris as well.
2. Apply liberally to the threads Traditions™ Breech Plug and Nipple grease.
3. Re-install the breech plug into the barrel using the wrench and turning it clockwise until tight.
4. Re-install the nipple into the breech plug using the wrench and turning it clockwise until tight. Do not over tighten or the
nipple may break.
Capping your muzzleloader:
NOTE: The Pursuit Northwest Edition™ is designed to use the #11 ignition cap only. This gun can not use a musket
ignition or a 209 shotgun primer ignition. Only install a percussion cap after the gun has been loaded with powder and
bullet and only when you are ready to fire the firearm.
1. Make sure that your muzzleloader is pointed in a safe direction.
2. Squeeze the action release button to open the action of the gun.
3. Install the #11 percussion cap onto the nipple and make sure it is seated all the way on.
4. Close your action and you are now loaded and ready to fire.
De-capping your muzzleloader:
1. Use a De-capping tool to remove a spent percussion cap from the nipple.
2. Slide the tool alongside the inner part of the cap closest to the nipple and push the cap off the nipple.
Recommended Loads:
NOTE: The Pursuit Northwest Edition is designed to shoot loose granulated powder only, not pelletized forms of powder.
Traditions recommends using CCI® or Remington® #11 percussion caps with a combination of 90-100 grains of Pyrodex®
RF powder to achieve the best accuracy and consistency. You may want to try different loads to see what suits your shooting
needs. But do not exceed the maximum load of 150 grains.
CAUTION:
BE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL OTHER WARNING AND SAFETY INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE PURSUIT
MANUAL.
