“209”

The Electra's ignition system allows modern-day muzzleloader shooters to replace the 209 primer.

A special Pope and Young Club judges panel has declared a Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep taken in South Dakota in 2018 as the new world record with a final score of 209⅛ inches, surpassing the previous world-record ram by nearly 10 inches.

The new NitroFire and FireStick system keeps ignition consistent by protecting the powder, even during storage; the loading process is easy, and the primer can be left in the FireStick or removed without compromising the charge; and the system doesn’t restrict the choice of bullets and 209 muzzleloader primers, meaning hunters can stick with proven favorites.

Remington unveils the new Model 700 Ultimate Muzzleloader, which uses a magnum rifle primer for ignition.

The all-new FireStick gives not only the consistency any muzzleloading rifle aficionado will appreciate, but this may the most weatherproof system of charging that has ever been developed.

What’s the best “go juice” for your muzzleloader? Here’s some food for thought.

CVA has announced the Paramount HTR. This is identical to previous Paramounts, except for its stock, coated in Realtree Hillside camo, which boasts an adjustable comb despite being lighter overall.

With its hunting-style stock, adjustable comb and premium Bergara barrel, the .40-caliber CVA Paramount HTR is capable of producing centerfire velocities previously thought unattainable from a muzzleloader.

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.
