Traditions Pursuit Ultralight XLT Muzzleloader Rifle

Traditions Performance Firearms

Old Saybrook, CT --(Ammoland.com)- Traditions Performance Firearms, who are known for their extremely accurate and dependable muzzleloaders, introduces their new Pursuit Ultralight XLT for the 2011 line-up.

Traditions has combined all the best features of the popular and dependable Pursuit models with the innovative and award-winning Ultralight series into one outstanding gun.

Weighing in at only 5.9 pounds, the Pursuit Ultralight XLT features an Ultralight Chromoly tapered, fluted, ported barrel which makes it lighter and built to travel.

Chromoly has long been recognized as the best barrel material for strength and accuracy among centerfire rifles and by incorporating it into their barrels, Traditions has raised the bar for modern muzzleloader performance and accuracy.

The 28” barrel (which is 2” longer than the Pursuit Ultralight) is coated in Premium CeraKote Finish which is 50 times more resistant than stainless steel and protects against highly corrosive black powder, cleaning chemicals, and all forms of weather. The barrel comes equipped with the Speed Load System, allowing for easy loading and more consistent groups.

The Pursuit Ultralight XLT also features the Accelerator Breech Plug which removes in three easy turns by hand, 360° barrel porting to reduce muzzle jump, and Soft Touch camo stocks that provide a comfortable, secure grip even with gloves on. Traditions has equipped the Pursuit Ultralight XLT with a Dual Safety System. This system incorporates two safeties; a trigger block safety and an internal hammer block safety, making it one of the safest muzzleloaders available.

The MSRP for this gun ranges from $309 to $419 depending on the model. The Pursuit Ultralight XLT has combined the best features of two guns and created something that must be seen to be believed. Traditions invites you to feel the difference for yourself.

Alliant Powder Introduces Black MZ an Innovative Black Powder Replacement

Alliant Powder

RADFORD, Va. --(Ammoland.com)- Alliant Powder introduces Black MZ, an innovative black powder replacement that withstands moisture and greatly reduces cleaning time and intensity.

Black MZ is designed for all black powder firearms and can be found on store shelves now.

Stay At-the-Ready
Muzzleloading takes a toll on black powder firearms. Alliant Powder’s new Black MZ helps maximize shooting performance by resisting moisture and adverse weather conditions. Hunters can stay loaded and ready in the field for days, only needing to insert a primer to get into the action. Black MZ won’t clump, corrode or fall victim to Mother Nature and helps keep a shooter’s attention focused on their trophy.

Maximum Performance, Minimum Headaches
Black MZ was engineered to deliver dependable ignition, lower barrel pressure and increased velocities. The clean-burning ignition of Black MZ is virtually non-corrosive, greatly diminishes fouling and offers more shots between cleaning sessions. Shooters can maximize their trigger time and avoid frequent and time-consuming cleaning. Wedged slugs, grimy barrels, stuck seater dies and dwindling accuracy are greatly reduced by Black MZ.
