209 inline breech loading semiauto smoothbore

[roundball]

The range I normally shoot muzzleloaders at is closed until mid June, so I shot 10 rounds of trap today with one of those new fanagled Remington 1187 smoothbores...loads from the back end, uses those 209 primers, mechnical parts slamming back & forth, didn't make much smoke, and that 700X didn't smell good at all like I used to think it did!

I did have one moment reminiscent of a muzzleloader though...one of my reloads was highly economical in that it had no powder it in, so after the primer left the wad halfway up the barrel, I had to use a cleaning rod to ram the wad back down and out of the breech end...felt good!

It sounds like an InLine to me.
