Your question answers itself, "muzzle loader". You load it from the muzzle. Actually, that's incorrect. They use the term "muzzle loader" improperly. It's a bolt action black powder rifle. The powder is pre-pressed into slugs that you load into the chamber, along with wadding and a bullet. I would guess you could load it down the muzzle, but it's faster and easier to buy the slugs and load that way.
Rifle primers are generally not reccommended for muzzle loading firearms- the flame is not large enough to reliably ignite black powder or Pyrodex. There are nipples that use a #209 shotgun primer, and even then, it is reccommended that you use a primer intended for black powder. Check with Dixie Gun works for a nipple that will fit your rifle.
You can, but, why would you?
no... According to DEC, a person convicted of a felony in NY, CAN hunt with a long bow or a muzzle loader/black powder rifle. NY does not consider these firearms at the present time. NY State is looking into changing this law in the future.
a ball of metal used as a projectile in black powder, muzzle loaders
Typically a round ball .440 inches is used, together with a greased cloth patch about .015 inches in thickness. This results in a "squeeze" fit of the ball to the barrel. If you have a modern muzzle loader, we would urge you to contact the maker, and get the owner's manual for YOUR rifle- most are free, and available on line as a download. If you have an ORIGINAL muzzle loader, please do not attempt to shoot anything in it until a competent gunsmith has inspected it. And NEVER use anything but black powder (or a legitimate black powder substitute, such as Pyrodex) in a muzzleloader.

Muzzle loaders were very early forms of mainly rifle style, but also pistols. Technically a modern mortar is a muzzle loader.
You will have to specify if it is a muzzle loader or a centerfire.
This is what I was told by a federal game warden it is not illegal for a felon to hunt with a black powder gun or a standard bow. A crossbow is illegal. A crossbow, shotgun, rifle, or any handgun it is illegal for a felon to possess.
One. It was a single shot muzzle loader.
