your not gonna get much faster than what your already doing with the tubes/pellets/bullet/sabot, and short starter. the slow part imo is the primer. 209's are bigger and easier to handle. my knight disc uses a 209 primer inside a plastic holder with a finger tab for handling which makes things easier. somebody makes a brass primer capping tool I used to use for my ruger old army, which helped with smaller primer caps.

I think I will just load both my muzzleloaders and carry both of them this season

I think it teaches you to be a better hunter. wait til your sure your 1st shot will count. those double rifles are nice, but expensive and am not sure if they are legal. me and my Bro had single shot b/p pistols but they were very inacurate.

I know I'm using a different setup than you but here's one of my setups. This is for my .50 flinter:

It's actually petty quick with a little practice. Powder from the horn to the cane measure, into the barrel, patch and ball from my pocket, thumb-start, ramrod, two qiuck little pushes of the priming flask and I'm ready. No caps, primers, etc.

Dump the powder horn and count to ten. Actually keep a couple of pill bottles with pelltes,primer,and a bullet. Been known to get a second shot off pretty quick.
