Depends on the caliber, load, bullet, etc.. I wouldn't want to be within a mile.

My .54 Calibre Muzzleloader gets about 300m Effective range but the projectile itself could probably travel for 1.5KM.
You should only ever fire your muzzleloader within 100m because their is little in the way off effective ballistic properties at longer distances.Even if you fit a telescopic sight to it won't make a large ammount of difference to accuracy.
Best employed on medium-to-heavy game and 1-4mm Steel plates at 100 yards.

How do you know if a civil war rifle is loaded or not?
If it is a muzzleloading rifle, and if you have the ramrod- remove ramrod from the stored position, insert in the barrel as far as it will go. Mark the rod at the edge of the muzzle, withdraw the rod, and lay it alongside the barrel, with the mark you made at the muzzle. If it reaches all the way to the cap nipple, it is not loaded. If the rod stops short of the nipple by an inch or two, then powder and ball are loaded. Do not attempt to unload by firing it until a gunsmith has checked your rifle. There are tools that a smith can use to unload a rifle without firing it.
Can you use a rifle scope on a muzzle-loader?
