ZooBear Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Make sure the breech plug is screwed in all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Re: Pursuit Pro problems Will the gun close without the 209 installed? Like ZooBear mentioned, be sure the breechplug is installed correctly. Be sure the primer pocket in the breechplug is not obstructed.

tallone Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Re: Pursuit Pro problems It is a problem, I was using federals and it was doing the same thing you would have to slam it shut a few times to get it to lock, I switched to the Kleanbores and it closed easy but they formed a crud ring so I switched back to the federals and I guess with the gun being shot a few times it broke in because it wasn't a issue anymore. One guy I know took each primer and "slammed" them a few times and put them back in the box so the next time he loaded they would close. Call Traditions they have a different breech plug they will sell you that will fix the problem they will also tell you which primers work best out of the one you have. They should just give us the right one with no charge in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call them and they'll tell you what primers work in your gun with the finicky breechplug or just send us some money and we will sell you a new breechplug to take care of the problem. Slamming the gun closed on primers and putting them back in the box for future use doesn't seem to be a real good solution to the problem. There's also another reply where the shooter says if he don't slam the gun closed on a Winchester primer the gun opens when he fires it. That not an inconvenience thats a safety issue. I know how I'd fix that problem. I'd sell it and pickup a T/C Omega or Encore. I've used Winchester, Remngton and CCI primers in my Encore and never had a problem. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockefeller66 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Re: Pursuit Pro problems all primers are different, I would try others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Re: Pursuit Pro problems I have been using CCI primers in my Pursuit Pro with no problems. Tonight I tried a Winchester primer and Lo and Behold the action didn't want to close. The CCI does appear to be slightly shorter. Guess I'd better stick with them for now.
