As of right now its not legal here either and you can bet states that dont allow pellets are not gunna allow a "pellet" that loads from the breach.
 
Indiana doesn't have many restrictions on muzzleloaders. You can use just about any sort of propellant, ignition and projectile combination you want. However the regs state:

"A muzzleloading firearm must be capable of being loaded from only the muzzle."

I think that settles things for Indiana. The Firestick won't fly here.

There’s a ledge in there that prevents the bullet from being loaded from the breech.

How in the world could anybody support such a system ??? If Leihigh Defence's gun is the same thing its ridiculous too !!!! I kinda find this insulting to my inteligence to even TRY to call this a mz . This isnt an advancement of our sport at all , nor helpfull . Makes me feel creepy like tryin to get away with something . Shame on them !!!
 
I will be very interested in seeing the granular powder as long as its not a sugar or ascorbic acid based propellant. If the granular really competes against BH209 for less money im all ears. ATM i dont see that happening unless its a nitrated powder and in the past Hodgdon was strongly against that.

That’s pretty much what the sidelock guys have been saying about inlines all along. :D
It’s just a matter of where you decide to draw the line...
 
Daaaang, that is crazy. Should we work out some way to get it to you the way some cigs get over there?
Cabelas Canada.... $79.99/10oz jug, looks like it went up this year, its the only powder I use for my inlines
 
You could load that bullet from the rear in a cartridge rifle. You couldn’t in this thing of Traditions. That’s the only difference.
true but could also have breech made with a stop which is what they have so you can seat Federal bullet. or leave like it is then i have two rifles in one

Big difference !!! The inline was originally from loonnng ago . They should put their brain in gear before engageing mouth.......
 
This gun is a joke as far as muzzleloaders are concerned. But all that said I'm really hoping that Triple 8 is a new powder and they're using this to launch it. My thought is that someone at least as smart as me (which isn't saying too much) is running Hodgdon and would have the foresight to realize that this firestick is going to fall flat on it's face. There's no way they would put that much time into developing and branding a powder that can only be used in one gun that few will buy. Hopefully this new improved powder will still be released at SHOT and then we'll actually have something interesting to talk about.
