If you want to do it the old way, do it the old way.
Don't? Go modern.

There were revolving rifles/carbines in the Civil war "the old way". Now Rossi and H&R/NEF have revolving carbines in .410/45 Colt. The "modern" revolving carbines are an innovative concept based on modern and "old way" designs. I think that's what Nickel is going for with the bottleneck concept. Nothing wrong with that IMHO. I have an open mind.
I think a bottlenecked muzzleloader is an interesting concept but agree with Hawg that if you need to compress the powder, it could be problematic. Or are you talking about making a smokeless powder muzzleloading revolving rifle that doesn't need powder compression? That could be dangerous.
