I must have the worst luck with new guns! 5 shots from my new Traditions and the nipple threads pullled out and the nipple went flying and burnt the hell out of my forehead!

To bad too, the gun really shot well. The first four shots only left 2 1/2 holes in the target( i was only shooting 30 yards). I have never had a new gun shoot that well right out of the box! Sportsmans Warehouse ordered me another one, should be here the end of next week.

As far as the over all performance of the gun, I couldn't be happier with it. The first 2 shots were a little hard to get the conical started in the bore, but the next 3 were a piece of cake. The main trigger and set trigger worked great. Main trigger is a nice easy pull, but when you use the set trigger the pull is VERY light, makes the gun very accurate. I was having a bit of trouble finding a cleaning sequance, but heck with only five shots through it, it will take more time to get that figured out.

The load I was using was 70g RS 368g T/C Maxi-ball RWS 1075 primer.
