The disc is so much eaier to load under field conditions. So why are people against discs. It is hype again. Avertising has won you over. I would bet most of the people who down the discs have never ever used one.

I think you are missing the point on the disc. It is open to blowback and you can't use BH209 powder with them. I have a NEF Sidekick that uses a similar primer holder and has an open breach plug. Until I upgraded my bp, I couldn't use BH209. Since using my new bp, my Sidekick is a more effective ML. I am using 95 grs. of BH209 and a Hornaday XTP sabot and getting great results. Oh and because the new bp is a of closed construction, it is very clean to shoot.
At least this has been my experience.
