They're not "primitive" and/or "traditional."  They extend a muzzleloader's range. Non-jacketed bullets cannot be loaded to as high a velocity without a loss of accuracy and excessive leading of the bore. They have to draw the line somewhere, and I think in this state they got it right.

             They only extend the range with the right ignition{209 Primers}.Use a lead bullet with a SABOT,I haven't seen much plasticizing of the bore with a SABOT :dunno:
