    Yeah, no thanks on the proprietary charger cartridge. I’m going to stick to my triple se7en pellets so I don’t get stuck paying whatever exorbitant amount of money they’re probably going to charge for that cartridge...not to mention the freedom to determine my own charge! I’m sure they’ll have options available, but for some distances I only use two pellets...depends on my stand location.

    Cartridge has ignition, propellent and projectile in one unit.

    Unitizing two of the three doesnt make a cartridge.
    Sounds like bullet still goes in from muzzle and primer/propellent unitized from the other end.

    Read: still a PITA.

    I am surprised that ATF has not determined this to be a cartridge based firearm and therefore regulated.

    At the end of the article is explains that you still have to fill out a 4473 to buy one. BATFE is treating it as a modern firearm, it just qualifies as a muzzleloader under SOME state hunting regs. Definitely a very niche product.

    My dad is at the shot show. He sent me videos of a girl showing the operation of it. Seems like a neat idea. Unloading will be a breeze with no clean up.

    Traditions also is coming out with a rifle that shoots an arrow with the power of a blank. Girl in video said it is shooting arrow at 385fps.

    I showed this to my Accura, and my SMR. They both laugh in your general direction. Derf is spot on. This is an ingenious solution to a non existent problem. I do appreciate the unloading capabilities, but couldn't one do virtually the same thing with a qrbp and pellets?

    uses an encapsulated propellant charge that loads from the breech, with the bullet loaded from the muzzle. The charge is completely impervious to moisture and loaded with clean-burning Hodgdon® Triple Eight powder to the same tight tolerances as Federal Premium factory ammunition
