[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 5008682, member: 12277"] I'd say that it IS a muzzle loader because the bullet is still loaded from the muzzle. It's not going to be any faster to load because of that plastic cartridge compared to loading pellets from a speed loader. Now I'll also say that it doesn't seem worth it to me unless you hunt in the rain most of the time. Also having an expendable item that is essential to fire a gun leaves the shooter very vulnerable to a manufacturer suddenly stopping production and leaving the gun owner with a useless paper weight. I got into the same situation with my NEF muzzle loader and the plastic primer carriers that they stopped selling years ago. Fortunately I anticipated it and bought about 75 of the carriers before the went out of production. With this Traditions gun though it's worse because you are buying a low volume production precharged cartridge rather than a simple injection molded primer carrier. $2 a shot for just powder is bad. I'll bet you could reload them pretty easy. Some kind of wad to hold the powder in is all you need. You'd lose the water proof feature but how often do you really need that anyhow? [/QUOTE]
