first. After you are able to shoot at least 3 shots in the same 2” area,
then adjust your sight to the center bullseye.
To adjust: Move the rear sight in the
direction you want the bullet to go.
Note:
Traditions recommends while
sighting in your muzzleloader that you
clean the bore between each of your shots.
By doing this you are starting out with a fresh, seasoned bore that will
help prevent some shooting errors such as powder build up that
could cause inaccuracies.
SCOPE MOUNTING:
All Traditions In-Line muzzleloaders are drilled & tapped for
mounting a scope. To sight in your scope, please follow the scope
manufacturer’s directions.
RECOMMENDED LOADS:
Traditions recommends that your begin your shooting with a charge
between 80-90 grains of Black powder, Triple 7, Pyrodex loose or
Pelletized Powder to lessen the recoil & let yourself get acquainted
with your muzzleloader. (ex. Pyrodex Pellets). The bullet that you
need is dependent upon the game that you are hunting. Tradition’s
recommends using a powder charge of 80-150 grains depending on
what you are hunting or shooting with your muzzleloader.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE:
A systematic routine of cleaning while shooting is strongly advised to
aid in avoiding problems while loading and to optimize accuracy.
1. When cleaning the bore, use cleaning patches rather than shooting
patches. Shooting patches are too small for cleaning and can
dislodge in the bore.
2. If a patch becomes lost in the bore, use Traditions Patch Puller
Worm attached to a ramrod for retrieval, or if necessary, remove the
breech plug and push the patch out through the breech area. Never
load a charge over a lost patch.
3. If unusual resistance is felt while loading a projectile, place a
cleaning patch treated with Traditions Wonder Lube 1000 Plus on
the cleaning jag affixed to the end of a ramrod and run it the full
length of the barrel several times with your objective being to
remove as much of the fouling build up as possible and at the same
time lubricating the rifling.
