Loading the NitroBolt® is as easy! Always check to make sure your safety is in the middle position (loading/unloading) and is not in the fire position. Your muzzleloader should be pointed in a safe direction.

1. Your safety should be in the middle position. Open the bolt to verify the chamber is empty.

2.  Load your projectile through the muzzle with your ramrod. Push it down the barrel and seat it on the shelf within the barrel. You’ll feel the bullet stop with resistance. This provides a consistent starting point every time

3.  Prime your Firestick with a 209 muzzleloading primer and insert the Federal Premium® Firestick™ into the bolt chamber. Close the bolt slowly and the Firestick will be pushed into the barrel. The bolt should lock into place. Move the safety into the safe (locked) position.

If you are using a muzzle brake, Traditions® recommends using their skirted or full bore Smackdown® bullet series like the Smackdown® ELD-X or the Smackdown® MZX. These type of bullets will perform best when using a muzzle brake. If you are not using a muzzle brake, these bullets are still great choices as well as the Smackdown® Carnivore™, Smackdown® XR™, or Smackdown® Bleed™ models. You will get an excellent gas seal since the Smackdown® series is sized correctly for Traditions® bore diameter. The Ridgeback™ Sabot that comes with the Carnivore™, XR™, and Bleed™ series is a 4-petal, ribbed sabot which additionally helps provide a tight gas seal. The NitroBolt™ is compatible with other brands of muzzleloader bullets. 

THIS MODEL COMES WITH A SCOPE BASE. SIGHTS MUST BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY.

The NitroBolt® must be purchased through a Traditions® dealer or distributor. Pick up the NitroBolt® and feel the difference!
