4. When target shooting or sighting in, develop a habit of consistently wiping the bore
with Traditions Wonder Lube 1000 patches after each shot. Depending upon the specific
load, temperature, and humidity, a short series of shots with black powder, Pyrodex® or
Triple 7® can be fired before it becomes necessary to wipe the bore with Traditions EZ
Clean™ patches or in order to remove fouling build-up. If for any reason the projectile
will not go all the way down to the powder charge, it will be necessary to extract the
projectile from the barrel either with a bullet puller on a ramrod or the breech plug can be
removed, the charge removed and the projectile forced out the end of the barrel with a
long bench/range rod or an extended ramrod.

NOTE: A dirty fouled barrel will directly affect your ability to
group shots. However, in a hunting situation, only a few shots
will likely be taken. If the barrel is prepped and lubed at the
onset, it is not necessary to clean and lube the interior of the
barrel between shots when hunting.

CLEANING AFTER SHOOTING

CAUTION:

Before cleaning, make absolutely certain the gun is unprimed and

unloaded. Use the ramrod measuring method as described earlier.

Clean your gun as soon as possible after your shooting session. To leave a gun un-
cleaned, even overnight, can result in serious and damaging corrosion.

ADVICE: Take care when cleaning not to get water
or solvent into the trigger assembly.

NOTE: Regardless of the cleaning method, you must remove
and thoroughly clean the breech plug and area of the
receiver during each cleaning. Be certain to
lubricate the threads of the breech plug and o-ring with
Traditions Breech plug grease before reinstalling.

Cleaning Method
A thorough cleaning requires the complete disassembly of the firearm every time you
shoot your muzzleloader.
1. Make sure the firearm is unprimed and unloaded.
2. With action closed unscrew forend and remove.
3. Open action and lift barrel up and away from receiver.
4. Remove the breech plug from
the barrel
5. Pour 8-10 inches of hot, soapy water into a secured pail.
6. Immerse the receiver end of the barrel into the cleaning
solution so that the water is above the breech opening.
7. Using a cleaning patch affixed to a jag or a cleaning brush,
pump the soapy water repetitively through the barrel by
