The Federal Premium Fire Stick 50 Cal 120gr delivers consistent muzzleloader performance with pre-measured powder charges and premium projectiles. These innovative cartridges eliminate the guesswork and mess of traditional loose powder loading while maintaining the authentic muzzleloader experience.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional loose powder systems, Fire Stick technology combines a precisely measured powder charge with a premium bullet in a single cartridge. Each round contains exactly 120 grains of clean-burning propellant matched to Federal's proven projectile design. The sealed cartridge prevents moisture contamination and ensures consistent velocities shot after shot, addressing the primary reliability concerns of conventional muzzleloader loading.
Key Features
- Pre-loaded 120-grain powder charge eliminates measuring and potential spills
- Sealed cartridge design prevents moisture absorption and powder contamination
- Compatible exclusively with Traditions NitroFire muzzleloader system
- Premium copper-plated lead bullet for reliable expansion and penetration
- Consistent powder burn rate delivers predictable ballistic performance

Field testing demonstrates velocities consistently within 25 fps across multiple shots, significantly tighter than typical loose powder loads. The 120-grain charge provides sufficient energy for medium to large game hunting while maintaining manageable recoil characteristics. Weather resistance testing confirms reliable ignition after submersion, making these loads suitable for extended hunts in challenging conditions.
