Yup, it could be a muzzle loader, but it sure doesn't have to be. Springfield, the original one you know, had this thing called a trap-door. An adaptation of that trailing edge technology should do quite nicely.

I want bigger-bore rimfires too. But rimfires won't take the kind of pressure that centerfire cases would. But I still want even the lo-power option, something to give the .22 mag a run for it's money. Unfortunately, un-flattening trajectories does NOT sell, and there's already a plethora of centerfire calibers that essentialy fill all the niches I'd want except for the quarter-bore. Lowering ammo costs isn't enough to sustain the concept against pre-existing rounds.
Imagine the .30 carbine round, slightly elongated. Make it a rimmed cartridge.
This could be chambered in both rifles and revolvers. Would be a champion little varmint round that could be loaded over 2,000 fps. Plenty of .308 dia bullets out there to choose from. Wouldn't burn up much powder. Would be a natural choice for cast bullet shooters.
