Yup, to me, and I know it's going to p*ss some people off, having to put up with all this mess without the fun that comes from shooting HTG black powder is yet another reminder that as far as the UK government is concerned, the metallic cartridge never happened.

The rest of the world looks on in bafflement while we gently slide into shooting oblivion, without the excuse that the gunsmoke got into our eyes and blinded our way.

We can't even use the modern conversions in any kind of competition outside the UK - there are NONE for a nitro-propelled muzzle loader, since they only exist here on mainland UK.
