The new Hodgdon Triple Eight is not designed for water-based clean-up. With the FireStick, there is less or no powder ring to clean, so risk of barrel corrosion is also less. A powder ring left unclean can lead to barrel corrosion. All this means the FireStick system generally reduces the traditional “powder ring” black powder shooters have come to recognize in the barrel after repeated firings. The bullet seats on the bullet shelf, not on top of powder. Due to powder being in the capsule, there is no powder touching and igniting directly inside of the barrel. The new Hodgdon Triple Eight powder burns very efficiently and greatly reduces the amount of unburnt powder and residue in the barrels. There is no breech plug to remove, pick clean, soak and lube which removes entire steps in the overall cleaning process. The lack of a removeable breech plug in the system makes access to the breech much easier to brush clean than standard 209 inline actions. Yes, partially because there are fewer parts to clean.

This graphic should be used for general guidance only. This map shows where we currently understand FireStick to be legal for muzzleloading season use-it will be updated real-time as we gain more states. We’re working hard to help gain acceptance for FireStick use during dedicated muzzleloading seasons in more states across the country.
