Not to be picky but cap and ball revolvers are “muzzleloaders” - the are multipleShot black powder weapons that load to the front of the cylindser. I have a bunch of them.

A muzzleloader would be a musket or a Pennsylvania rifle or a Plains rifle or a Civil War .58 Springfield. Suspect nobody’s been killed on purpose by one of those puppies since the 1880s or so.

OK, I have a bunch of cap and ball revolvers too: Colt, Remington, Starr replicas, including a flintlock rifle, but most would consider a cap and ball revolver (including the ATF) a muzzle loader. I have owned and been shooting muzzle loaders and cap ball revolvers for nearly 50 years.
