I guess you would have to take it to court, because primers designed to be in modern firearms are exactly what it uses. I'm looking for facts not opinions.

Muzzleloader Regs....part 3 section d
"Ignition is to be wheel lock , matchlock , flintlock or percussion.
Primers designed to be used in modern cartridges are legal."
Nothing here says anything about the primer system in the Remington 700 Ultimate Muzzleloading rifle...so I would say no it is not legal for a muzzleloading rifle season hunt.
I'd also suggest just getting a more traditional style of muzzleloading rifle as then you won't have to worry about these things....
