The ProHunter XT interchangeable barrel system allows you to use one platform for many purposes. The .50 caliber, 28-inch blued firestick muzzleloader barrel comes drilled and tapped for scope mounts. It comes standard with a Swing Hammer® that can be conveniently positioned toward either side of the frame, enabling easier access to the hammer under mounted scopes.

The Federal™ FireStick is a vital component to this groundbreaking new muzzleloader. The FireStick is a plastic capsule that holds pre-measured powder charges. The ability to have identical charges on every shot allows for a more consistent velocity spread, which increases accuracy and dependability. Since the FireSticks are only used once, there is no real cleaning involved in the breech area, which speeds up reloading as well. This technology reduces the need for many common accessories, which makes it much easier for beginners to get into the sport. Powder measures, powder flasks, nipple picks, speed loaders, cappers, parts soakers, and granular or pelletized powders are not needed with this muzzleloader, which can save hunters lots of money when they are first getting into muzzleloading. With this new muzzleloader, all you’ll need to carry in the field are a couple primers, bullets, FireSticks, and a bullet starter! 

Additionally the ProHunter XT muzzleloader barrel includes the Speed Breech® 3, the latest in hand-removable, threaded breech plug technology. Unlike competitors' threaded breech plugs, the Speed Breech® 3's triple lead thread design gives it more area between the threads that helps prevent breech plug seizing from powder corrosion. The triple lead thread design equates to easier removal with fewer turns than conventional plugs. Removal and cleaning just got easier with Thompson/Center's new Speed Breech 3.
