As long as we are limited to black powder and the substituses there can' t be all that much improvement to a ML. Black powder and the substitutes generate very low pressures and can only move a bullet so fast.

We have a bullet on top of black powder and a primer to ignite the powder. Not much more to it. Think about it. If we took off these fancy stocks and put them into a traditional ML stock there aint much difference between them except where the primer is located and the ammount of powder that can be loaded. Still some inlines are not capable of magnum charges. The bullets may get more advanced but I' m sure that states, like Colorado has done, will limit that if need be.

Sure there is the disc and the breech lock, like the omega, but that doesn' t do anything accept keep the moisture out. You still have to load the powder, load the bullet and load a primer to ignite it all.
