The British Brown Bess was .75 calibre (but fired a .71 calibre musket ball), the French Charleville musket was .69 calibre (these were also commonly used by what would become the United States during the American Revolution), the smoothbore Springfield Muskets were .69 calibre, while the rifled muskets were .58 calibre... just to put a few out there.

No. A musket is a smooth-bore, muzzel loading weapon designed to fire a single ball. A shotgun is designed to fire a several pieces of smaller shot in a single load.
