Well for one thing the system by CVA does not use primers, electronic or otherwise. The problem with Remingtons system was cost. You had to buy their factory ammo which was darn expensive and when the electronic primers hit the market for reloaders they were darn expensive too.
With CVA's system once you own it, thats it, no more expense related to the system.
Tom, I hear ya, some guys will want to draw a line somewhere for themselves. That is fine, hunting is a personal sport. I have good friends that archery hunt only with recurves. Fine by me. But my personal preference runs towards performance. I enjoy fast cars, fast rifles, high tech scopes, etc, etc. If I could use a centerfire rifle I would not use a muzzleloader in the first place. The only reason I got in this game was because of Indiana law. I have a great time hunting no matter what I use and since I like gadgets, the coolest gadget makes it that much more fun for me. It is not about trying to make up for ability with gadgets, at least in my case. I pass on many deer every year for one reason or the other. I have killed over 40 with a handgun. No doubt I could tag out with a flinter, I just prefer other stuff.
I think a rail gun would be cool as school and maybe a semi auto crossbow would be nice too. It's a personal matter as long as one is ethical in his approach.
