Abstract

See full text

A muzzle loading device includes a hollow shot holding chamber having a first and second end; an actuator located at the first end; and a flexible restraining mechanism and a muzzle alignment feature located at the second end. The flexible restraining mechanism is biased to a closed state, and, in response to the actuator being actuated, goes to an open state. The actuator includes a plunger, a bullet seat, and a spring. The plunger traverses axially along a hollow portion of the hollow shot holding chamber into the muzzle, eliminating the need for a bullet starter. The spring biases the plunger away from the flexible restraining mechanism and limits the traversing distance of the plunger. The hollow shot holding chamber includes an end portion shaped to correspond to an outer geometry of a muzzle.
