Federal Premium FireStick is a part of a whole new muzzleloader system that uses a primer inserted into an encapsulated powder charge. In other words, it's a premeasured self-contained powder charge.
First, the bullet (sold separate) is loaded separately and independently from the muzzle to seat on top of a bullet shelf inside the barrel of the rifle. The break-open action of the rifle is opened. The FireStick is installed into the open breech to seat just behind the bullet shelf and seated bullet. A 209 Muzzleloader primer (sold separate) is inserted into the FireStick propellant capsule to charge the powder. The break-open action is closed. It's now ready to fire, once the hammer is pulled back and the safety is turned off.
Physical features of the FireStick consist of a polymer capsule precisely filled with an exact charge of all-new, ultra-clean black powder substitute Hodgdon Triple 8 granular powder. The sealed capsule utilizes a breakable front section (cap) that completely encases the powder charge.
The FireStick propellant capsule requires a 209 primer (sold separate) to be inserted into it by the user to become charged. The user inserts a 209 Shotshell Primer, of their choice, to fully charge the system.
At product launch, two pre-loaded FireStick charge levels are available: 100-grains or 120-grains Hodgdon Triple 8. Users can expect projectile velocities equal to or better than what they are getting with equivalent loads from other types of in-line muzzleloaders.
This revolutionary invention was completed by Federal in conjunction with Traditions Firearms to rejuvenate muzzleloader hunting.
Upon product launch, Traditions Firearms has an exclusive arrangement utilizing the FireStick system. At the time of print, several NitroFire .50 caliber rifles are available from Traditions. In addition, the company plans on launching several different rifles at various feature levels and price points to accommodate a wide range of customer preferences.
