MUZZLELOADER POWER CELL WITH PRIMER

Abstract: muzzleloader systems including a pre-packaged propellant charge with a primer and receptacle. the muzzleloader system may include a propellant containment vessel separate from the primer and the projectile and that doesn't contact with the projectile until assembly. the muzzleloader may be rear loading, with a constriction portion forward of the breech chamber. the propellant containment vessel may include a body portion having a forward opening, with a propellant charge disposed therein and a cap portion that is crimp rolled within the mouth of the vessel to seal the forward opening. the closed end of the propellant containment vessel may define a primer receptacle configured to receive the primer. the receptacle may define a depth that is less than the primer height so that, when inserted into the receptacle, the primer extends rearwardly beyond the containment vessel. the muzzleloader system may be configured to fire only specifically configured propellant containment vessels.
