If I read this correctly it would not be legal to use a muzzleloading revolver, because such a gun is loaded with more than one bullet?

Muzzleloading firearms must be .44
caliber or larger, loaded with a single bullet
of at least .357 caliber. Saboted bullets are
allowed, provided the bullet is .357 caliber
or larger. A muzzleloading firearm must be
loaded from the muzzle. Multiple-barrel
muzzleloading long guns are allowed.

edit: Never mind I found the section that rules out muzzleloading revolvers

Muzzleloading handguns are allowed.
The muzzleloading handgun must be
single shot, .50 caliber or larger, loaded
with bullets at least .44 caliber and have
a barrel at least 12 inches long, measured
from the base of the breech plug excluding
tangs and other projections to the end of
the barrel, including the muzzle crown.

It appears to me that a BP revolver such as a .44 1858 or an 1851 would be legal, if using a .45 LC cartridge conversion, does that sound right?

Rifles with cartridges that fire a bullet of
.357-inch diameter or larger; have a minimum
case length of 1.16 inches; and have
a maximum case length of 1.625 inches are
legal to use only during the deer firearm season.
Some cartridges legal for deer hunting
include the .357 Magnum, .38-.40 Winchester,
.41 Magnum, .41 Special, .44 Magnum,
.44 Special, .44-.40 Winchester, .45
Colt, .454 Casull, .458 SOCOM,
.475 Linebaugh, .480 Ruger, .50
Action Express, and .500 S&W.
Legal Handguns for
Deer Hunting
Handguns, other than muzzleloading,
must have a barrel at
least 4 inches long and must fire
a bullet of .243-inch diameter or
larger. The handgun cartridge
case, without the bullet, must
be at least 1.16 inches long. Full
metal-jacketed bullets are not
permitted.

if 45 Colt and 45 Long colt are the same, then yes. If Long colt Is longer, then yes. 45 colt is mentioned in that section

Oh, yeah, but what about the .45 Short Colt?
