Traditions™ Speed Load System allows for a bulle that is perfectly centered with the barrel rifling which allows you easier bullet starting and more consistent groups.

Traditions® recommends using their Smackdown® bullet series in the NitroFire® muzzleloader, in particular the Smackdown® Carnivore™, Smackdown® XR™, or Smackdown® Bleed™ models.

Thanks to a combination of superior features, when you purchase a Traditions you'll have in your hands the most accurate muzzleloader on the market.

And more stable and reliable black powder substitutes are available. The effective range for in-line muzzleloaders these days is up to 200 yards with performance levels suitable for harvesting medium and large game.

500 S&W remains the most powerful production handgun cartridge. A . 500 S&W Magnum Cartridge.

Traditions™ muzzleloaders are outfitted with features that provide proven accuracy well beyond 200 yards. Our muzzleloaders with a 24", 26", and 28" barrel are all capable of 200+ yard accuracy and as you move through our lineup and other barrel lengths, the accuracy continues from there.

Traditions® recommends using their Smackdown® bullet series in the NitroFire® muzzleloader, in particular the Smackdown® Carnivore™, Smackdown® XR™, or Smackdown® Bleed™ models.

The GAU-19/A is designed to accept standard NATO . 50 caliber M9-linked ammunition. The rate of fire is selectable to be either 1,000 or 2,000 rounds per minute. The Humvee armament kit version fires at 1,300 rounds per minute.

Jacketed Hollow Point Bullets In addition to expansion, some hollow points are also designed to fragment, causing multiple wound channels and even greater physical harm. Jacketed hollow points are considerably more lethal than regular bullet ammunition.

The . 500 S&W Magnum is the most powerful standardized, mass produced handgun chambering by virtue of its considerable muzzle energy (incidentally, a lengthened form of the cartridge, the . 500 Bushwhacker, is considered the most powerful custom handgun chambering).

I've killed deer at 180 yards with 100 grains but I sighted in at 150yrds. So its doable. Very low velocity at long yardage though only entered chest cavity behind shoulder and didn't exit. 150 grains makes my optima shoot completely different but better velocity at long range.

There's no loose powder to measure and no pellets that can be crushed when the bullet is loaded. FireStick offers a consistent, pre-measured charge, and since the bullet is seated in the exact same location on every shot, accuracy potential is very high.
