CVA Crossfire

Yes, partially because there are fewer parts to clean. The lack of a removable breech plug in the system makes access to the breech much easier to brush clean than standard 209 inline actions. There is no breech plug to remove, pick clean, soak and lube which removes entire steps in the overall cleaning process.

The new Hodgdon Triple Eight powder burns very efficiently and greatly reduces the amount of unburnt powder and residue in the barrels. Due to powder being in the capsule, there is no powder touching and igniting directly inside of the barrel. The bullet seats on the bullet shelf, not on top of powder. 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. A powder ring left unclean can lead to barrel corrosion. With the FireStick, there is less or no powder ring to clean, so risk of barrel corrosion is also less.

The new Hodgdon Triple Eight is not designed for water-based clean-up. Using a cleaning solvent provides an effective and efficient job cleaning.

No. For safety reasons, FireSticks are designed for one-time use and cannot be reloaded.

1. 1. 1. Factory-manufactured, and precision charged so you’ll get consistent performance every time.
      2. Allows safe removal of the unfired charge from the breech and quick removal when necessary.
      3. Eliminates the risk of accidentally over- or under-charging.

1. 1. 1. With the barrel pointed in a safe direction, 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.
      2. Break open the action and insert the Federal Premium FireStick into the breech.
      3. Place a 209 primer into the primer pocket of the FireStick. Close breech and your muzzleloader is fully loaded.

1. 1. 1. Open the breech of the rifle.
      2. Remove the 209 Shotshell Primer from the Firestick ™ capsule.
      3. Remove the Firestick™ capsule from the breech of the rifle.
      4. Using a range rod (longer than the length of the barrel) with the jag removed (to allow passage through the Bullet Seating Ring), push the bullet out of the barrel from breech to muzzle. (Note that some rods may have too large an outside diameter to pass through the Bullet Seating Ring, so be sure to obtain a range/cleaning rod with an outside diameter small enough to pass through the Bullet Seating Ring. Any centerfire rifle cleaning rod should work for this purpose.)

Yes, as of launch, the Crossfire muzzleloader requires a 4473.
