I was watching a video of one being loaded and apparently the primer is a cut off .308 case. Its just a regular Remington bolt action with a different barrel on it.
So if you try to use this with loose powder, either it has to be primed first (bad idea) or the powder is just going to go all the way through and out the bolt. Video I watched had it being loaded with Pyrodex pellets and a plastic sabot round.
This seems to be a really expensive way to shoot, with there apparently being no way to get the cost under $2 a shot, in a rifle the ATF and most states consider to just be a regular bolt action .308 (which it mostly is)
Side note - I wonder if Remington has some sort of patent on using a reloadable piece of rifle brass as the primer, and thats why the nitrofire rounds have to be plastic?
