You DO NOT want to get hit by a big chunk of muzzleloader lead!

Large and tend to deform to transmit all the KE to the target.

My .62 caliber smoothbore flintlock with 110 grains of black powder behind a 342 grain lead ball would do a lot of damage!

There you go. Perfect example.

You just about have to go to a hit from a Chebby or a Toyota to get more knockdown power.

I have a repro land pattern brown bess with a nominal .75 bore making it basically an 11 gauge. I get surprisingly good patterns with pea gravel.
