Considering an Inquisitor build that makes use of mounts + a Heavy Repeating Crossbow (HRC) but I'm not exactly sure what Rapid Reload does for the HRC. Does Rapid Reload reduce the reload time of a HRC to a move action?
Thanks a bunch...
Rapid Reload (Combat)Choose a type of crossbow (hand, light, heavy) or a single type of one-handed or two-handed firearm that you are proficient with. You can reload such a weapon quickly...

it would make it faster to reload the bolt case. Although not official it looks like it takes down the amount of time by one category. Changing the case is a full round action. So with Rapid reload you could do it as a move action. (a hvy cross bow is full round and goes to a move action, so i would treat it the same way.) It would be up to the GM but I wouldn't see it giving someone an extra shot with the repeater if that is what he is going for. If it is for an extra shot get rapid shot.

Rapid Reload with Muskets only reduces the Full Round Action to a Standard. Just giving more data.
That's what I'm seeing as well, RAW the feat does nothing for a Heavy Repeating xbow, but as a GM I'd probably allow the feat to be used to reduce the action necessary to a standard action, just like with the other full-round weapon, the musket.
