We have an early season (week long) ML season for antlerless deer in mid-late October. While flintlocks only are allowed in the late season, after Christmas, The Game Commission allows in-lines, even with scopes, as well as the rest of us (cap lock and flinters). But for some reason, a Sharps paper cartridge gun is illegal. Technically a breech loader. So a "ML" even with smokeless powder, pellets, sabots, 209 primers, and scopes is OK. For a while the late season (flintlock) was restricted to patched RB, and barrel sights only. Now we can use peep sights, and conical bullets. I still stick with RB myself.
Does your state have such regs?
 
Not here in Montana. Strictly trad muzzleloaders, flint, cap or match[?]. No sabots or scopes. No inlines. Substitute powders are allowed as are open sights with the fiber optic assist. Sidelocks only. All projectiles [prb or conical] must be pure lead.
And you must wear buckskins, smoke a pipe and pledge to never hunt with smokeless powder.... Ok, I made that part up. But the previous part is true. SW
