The Traditions NitroBolt (brand part no. CR94660440) is a modern bolt-action muzzleloader
built for hunters who want rifle-like handling with blackpowder-legal performance. Chambered in .50
caliber, it pairs a 24-inch barrel with a fast 1-in-24 VAPR twist rate that’s optimized for stabilizing
sabot bullets at long range. The tungsten and black synthetic stock keeps the rig light and weather-ready
for late-season hunts, and the bolt-action ignition system gives shooters a familiar, fast-cycling
reload between shots.
