ADJUSTABLE TRIGGER
Your muzzleloader has an adjustable trigger that has been preset at the
factory for optimum hunting performance. The adjustment screws have
been fixed at the factory with a thread locking sealant.
WARNING: No adjustments to the trigger or sear can be made
except by the factory or a certified gunsmith only. Trigger pull
should never be set to less than three pounds.
LOADING
For reasons of safety and proper performance, these loading
instructions for your Traditions Muzzleloader must be followed closely.
While some of the procedures may seem cumbersome, with practice they
will soon become second nature and will make for safe, dependable and
accurate shooting. (It is very helpful to have an experienced black
powder shooter with you the first few times you load and shoot your
muzzleloader.) If, after reading these instructions, you still have
questions concerning the safe use of your
Muzzleloader, contact Traditions Customer Service Department.
Follow these instructions in their sequence:
PROPELLANTS:
If you have any questions regarding powder velocities and pressures
please contact the manufacturer of the propellant.
1. Black powder, Pyrodex RS, Pyrodex Select, or Triple 7 powder are the
only safe propellants to use in this muzzleloading shotgun. Maximum
loads using Triple 7 loose powder must be reduced by 15%. We do not
recommend using any type of palletized powder in the
muzzleloading shotguns.
2. The term "black powder" does not refer to any powder black in color,
since modern smokeless powders are also black in color.
3. Be certain that the propellant you select is commercially manufactured
black powder, Pyrodex or Triple 7 for use in muzzleloaders.
DANGER: The use of SMOKELESS POWDER in any
TRADITIONS muzzleloaders will result in excessively high
pressures and can cause serious damage to the
muzzleloader and possible injury or death to the shooter and
bystanders.
