One of the merits of a muzzleloader is that it can fire a variety of loads. It is even possible to use a muzzle-loading rifle as a shotgun but since this tends to foul the rifling it is not a very practical option.
Owners of antique muskets from the civil war or even from the war for independence have been known to occasionally take their old arms down from the mantle and load them with shot for turkey season. Since shot guns operate at much lower pressures than rifles, the danger of spoiling an historic weapon (and of personal injury from flying shrapnel) is virtually eliminated by this kind of usage. The practice also offers an occasion for annual cleaning, inspection and lubrication, which is far more effective at preserving historic firearms than mere neglect.
