Couldn't find it at the link; however, why would anyone want to do that?? Seems like it links the worst of two devices. Makes a cartridge rifle into a muzzleloader or makes a muzzleloader into a muzzleloading cartridge rifle. Makes no sense to me!!!! By the way that link also links with sex oriented sites which don't belong here.

Slave,
That's the old address. They changed their url to:

http://www.centerfiremuzzleloading.com/

Keith,
It's a redirect to a search engine because the name is no longer valid. The link above and the other slave listed used to link to the same site.

Keith,

Sorry about the link I provided. Not intended to devert you or any one else to that type of site.

Wolfhound, thanks for the assist.

I've seen that before.  I can't see why anyone would want to do that.  Since the powder goes in the breech it's not legal for ML season, and ballistically it's not on par with most centerfires.  Most of all, it makes it much easier to screw up and start pushing a bullet down the barrel after you already have powder (and more importantly  PRIMER) in the breech.
    Of course, from the manufacturer's perspective, you'll be buying your loads from them so it's great.  No thanks, I don't even use pellets.

Andy is correct, most if not all States with M/L season requires the gun be loaded from the muzzle. It clearly states in Delaware no breech loaded weapons during the M/L season.  :D
