This week, we're taking a look at the Traditions NitroFire muzzleloader. A revolutionary design, the NitroFire is built around the Federal FireStick ignition system. This self-contained powder charge allows hunters to simply load the projectile down the barrel before breaking open the gun to seat the powder charge from the breech. No more concerns over inconsistent measurements or wet powder. Should the day not end in a shot, the charge can be removed from the breech by hand to make the gun safe. For more information on this innovative new muzzleloader, check out the video embedded above, hosted by Executive Editor Jon Draper, and Digital Associate Editor David Herman. MSRP: $549-699; traditionsfirearms.com.
