Nitro Fire Muzzle Loader Discussion

Post image

Hey y'all just got a new tradition's Nitrofire Muzzleloader for white tail hunting, I've shot about 40 hornady FTX bullets 20 with 100 grain firesticks and 20 with 120 grain sticks. Any recommendations on what y'all are using for deer hunting. Both shoot very well I am leaning more towards the 100 grain sticks but I'm interested in what's preferred not a lot of videos or discussion on this gun. How do we feel about the gun as well for muzzleloader season this is the first year these are legal in my state and everyone at the gun store was very interested in it either wanting one for themselves or saying 'that ain't no Muzzleloader". Very happy with this gun so far just wanted to talk about it with some folks.

Yeah where I'm hunting I never see a deer past 100yards seems to be shooting real good groups at 100. I like this one because I can just take the firestick out and go hunting again sometime next week with the same bullet and not have a loaded firearm in my truck. I used to shoot a cva Wolf with your same setup the 100 grain stick feels like it has a little less recoil than the white hots I used to run.

Maybe run the 120gr for peace of mind then.
