Firestick Muzzleloaders: How They Work, Technology & Available Rifles | Muzzle-Loaders Podcast Ep. 87

Pass you the 120s.

Okay, sounds good.

I'll showcase these for the people watching on our video version of the podcast.

So this is a box of Federal Fire Sticks.

Colton's got a 100-grain variation.

I've got the 120-grain charge in my hands.

Colton, why don't you walk us through what these are?

Yeah,

so this is a plastic

capsule, essentially, that's holding a patented specialty powder known as 888 powder.

It's got a small primer pocket here in the back end, and it's essentially a powder charge that loads in from the breech end of the muzzleloader, making it extremely user-friendly to use because these guys are waterproof, they're easily removable.

If you need to pull the charge out and let the gun sit overnight, you don't have to leave it loaded with this guy in.

You can just simply remove it from the breech end, leaving the bullet inside the gun.

These are a very user-friendly design with that powder being encapsulated in here.

I'm trying to think of what else to say about the fire stick.

Well, it's not overly complicated.

It's really not.

It's a simple powder charge that you don't have to measure.

It's all pre-measured for you.

And you're able to just insert it into the gun, whether you do the, I mean, we don't sell the 80s, but we have the 100 and the 120 grain fire sticks, which are going to push that gun out 150, 200 yards, depending on what you're shooting.

So great way to get into the sport.

Great way to get familiar with muzzle loading.

If you just got a tag for somewhere that you're going to be hunting and you're like, hey, I don't want to get into the nitty gritty weeds of muzzleloading with measuring my powder and balancing my charge and my seating depth.

The fire stick technology has really eliminated a lot of that with your built-in shelf to stop a bullet at the exact location every single time.

And then a fire stick, which is, you easily pocketable.
