I would expect a professional publication on firearms to know the difference between a muzzle loader and a far more common bolt action rifle...

Still, this is one reason you always wear eye protection...

Professional publication and American Shooting Journal are two things I would not use in a sentence together. Well, except for the previous sentence...

There are bolt-action muzzleloaders.

The bolt only loads and ignites an inline shotshell primer.

In-Line muzzloaders have a “bolt” like handle to access the primer nipple but it is still a muzzleloader.

Roland Chambers commented on the article "There are several front loaders that are bolt action and utilize a 209 shotgun primer or pistol or rifle primers. Remington makes one that that uses smokeless powder which has the same power and velocity as large centerfire cartridge rifles."

I Googled "bolt action muzzle loader" and sure enough I get the Remington Model 700 Ultimate Muzzleloader.
