I keep seeing that term here, usually with quotation marks. What does that mean in reference to M/Ls? Maybe you can't tell me because it is unmentionable. Forgive my ignorance.

Yep. Someone suggested using 'UM' instead of having to type the whole word out.

Along with rock lock, flinter, cap gun, and maybe another half dozen other stupid terms.
Yep, and don't forget brasser
The term could also refer to ‘modern’ inline alleged muzzleloaders using synthetic propellants.

Agree on the in-lines but there sure are a bunch of related posts referencing the synthetic propellants. Something to think about there.
This is a real cartridge gun!What's a cartridge gun?

Personally I don't care what anyone shoots as long as they promote the sport of muzzleloader shooting. Too many stuffed shirts seem to think that a sidelock is the only true muzzleloader. Its not. This is the same thing that went on in archery with the invention of the compound bow. The recurve and longbow shooters went nuts. And now its the same with crossbows (which btw were out long before recurves). People could have said the same thing years ago with the progression of muzzleloaders. You had the matchlock, wheellock, flintlock, percussion now 209 primers. Use what you want and don't complain about what others use as long as its legal. Remember that horse you're on isn't that high.
Sweet....I have a Pedersoli copy of that model.
Interestingly enough, my King's Musket, the Brown Bess, also uses cartridges. These are paper wrapped and loaded through the muzzle.

I prefer and use the terms "modern" or just "cartridge gun". And I call inlines "inlines".
I guess I’m blessed because I shoot ‘em all and enjoy every bit of it!
Like wise, mine is a Pedersoli.
