10. PRIMING THE TRADITIONS™

VORTEK STRIKERFIRE™

WARNING: DO NOT PRIME YOUR MUZZLELOADER UNTIL

IMMEDIATELY BEFORE YOU ARE PREPARED TO FIRE.

The 209 shotgun primer is very popular because of its features and

benefits for superior ignition. The 209 shotgun primer is exactly as it is

named, a shotgun primer, the same primer used in a shotgun shell.

The 209 primer has three main benefits over the #11 cap and the

musket cap.

First, the 209 primer is a hotter ignition than a #11 percussion or

musket cap which provides a more reliable ignition. Second, the 209

primer is water-resistant which keeps water and moisture out for a

sure-fire ignition when conditions are damp or rainy. Third, the 209

primer is larger than #11 or musket caps and can be handled easier.

Your new break-open rifle uses a 209 primer. When priming your

muzzleloader please follow these instructions. Only prime your

muzzleloader after you have loaded the rifle and you are ready to

shoot.

Note: If using the Northwest Magnum model the rifle is designed

for use with a musket cap only! Do not use a #11 percussion cap

or 209 primer.

1. Make sure that the manual safety on your muzzleloader is in the

“safe” position.

2. Point the muzzleloader in a safe direction.

3. Keeping the muzzle pointed

in a safe direction, open the

action to expose the breech

area. Using a 209 capper

or your fingers, press the

primer into the opening in

the breech plug. Close the

action of the muzzleloader.

Note

: If using the Northwest Magnum model use a musket capper

to press the musket cap onto the nipple and make sure it is fully

seated on the nipple.

4. Your muzzleloader is now ready to fire.
