“breech”

American Hunter Field Editor Jeff Johnston takes a look at the new CVA Paramount Long Range Muzzleloader.

Allison Hall from Traditions introduces the NitroFire muzzleloader from Traditions, which, at the time of this release, is the only muzzleloader on the market that accepts the Federal FireStick.

The main advancement of the V2 is CVA's use of the Quick-Release Breech Plug, one that is truly quick and easy, requiring only finger pressure to remove.

Designed for shots at 300 yards and beyond, the new .45-caliber bolt-action muzzleloader fires a 280-grain PowerBelt ELR bullet at 2200 fps.

Benelli’s new 828U Sport over/under shotgun is based on the company’s revolutionary 828U platform with its patented, innovative steel locking plate and streamlined receiver. It features an integrated adjustment capability using a combination of small weights in the buttstock, allowing users to balance the shotgun to their preferred shooting style.

Federal's new FireStick is the critical component of a whole new muzzleloading ignition system that uses an encapsulated propellant charge that loads from the breech, with the bullet inserted from the muzzle.

CVA has released a new model of the Paramount Pro for 2023, termed the Paramount Pro V2. The muzzleloader utilizes the same VariFlame Breech Plug adapter as its predecessors, allowing it to use large-rifle primers for consistent ignition of what CVA terms "super-magnum" charges.

The Woodman Arms Patriot muzzleloader is light, short and easy to carry. It shoots extremely well and, with the closed breech, can be waterproofed to ensure it goes off every time. It’s accurate enough to manage the open country, light enough to climb mountains and small enough to handle well in a deer blind.
