Has it been done? Use of a rimfire blank to ignite a charge in a muzzleloader? Seems a 22 blank would be more than adequate for the purpose, easier to use than a 209 while maintaining a similar level of reliability. Also seems like a hotter ignition which could potentially play into possible use of smokeless shotgun powder In a muzzleloader if adequate care in loading was taken. Thinking possibly seat a bullet over a sub-caliber funnel leading towards a flash hole behind which the 22 blank would reside. It would be a very interesting breechblock for sure.
