Got my new nitro muzzleloader that shots the firesticks this summer.Best muzzleloader I have ever owned.Very accurate and with the open barrel a breeze to clean with no pinholes to keep clean.

I like my Optima

Was looking into them.

What are you shooting for the powder load?

that was some very fine line riding of muzzle loader vs firearm

I hope they keep those fire sticks around for you ,but If you really like them buy a whole bunch now so that when they get discontinued you have a life time supply

if you vacuum pack the boxes they should last a good long while.

Not a muzzle loader in Louisiana, our LWDF already had a discussion about it. We have a pretty liberal muzzle loader regulations anyways.

it's isn't going to be in a bunch of states , we will see if it is a muzzle loader in enough states that it stays around

Does it breathe smokeless or something?

Mike

Buying as many as I can find.

Had one and a encore also.

Legal in these states in green

Basically but even worse it has no breach plug

it is like a muzzle loaded bullet being fired by a blank

another ATF head scratcher

the powder charge is encapsulated in what is like a plastic 410 hull but not a 410 fitting hull and it has the 209 primer already pressed into the single use powder encapsulation device since it isn't quite a blank nor a cartridge the projectile gets run down the muzzle

it appears to get around it by using a blank like case that fits nothing else.

see if you make your own can cannon but there isn't a 90 degree turn to force the gasses around to get to the can holder part it becomes a destructive device

yet there is no 90 degree turn in the nitro


Bruce is there even a shelf or something to keep the projectile from being pushed all the way down to the breach end of the barrel?

Best time is find at Walmart clearance right now.

For sure.Cleaned out 6 walmarts now.

How much were they? Last year they got down to $11 for the 10 pack.

$10 to $12

good to hear you plan to be around a while that 60 rounds isn't enough

was getting worried about you with that last gun left to buy thread

I remember my grandpa saying as we were putting his roof on , well should be the last roof I ever need that was about 1985, thankfully he needed another and even got some years on it before selling the house in 2018 and passing in 2019

he only ever had one gun a 12ga Ithaca and grandma got him that when he got married and owned it 65 years before he decided he couldn't shoot it any more and gave it to my uncle
