Overview
Built for use with the Thunder Dome Breech Plug, this primer nipple is designed to accept 209 shotgun primers through a magnum ignition setup. Its 8 mm tapered thread is made to lock into place, supporting a secure fit within the breech plug system. The result is a straightforward ignition component for hunters using compatible Traditions muzzleloading equipment. It is a specialized part rather than a universal accessory, so compatibility should be confirmed before use.
