Uhh...yeah! Lots of it! All the black powder you would ever want! Not only that, if you have a muzzleloading rifle you have two hunting seasons open to you, the General season (open to any legal weapon - this is commonly called 'rifle season' but you can go out there with a muzzleloader, bow, shotgun or any other weapon large enough to reliably kill what you're hunting) and the Muzzleloader Only season.
To provide a rifle with more firepower than the traditional muzzleloader.
60-300

A 223 would be fine for a deer rifle but you need to make sure the (youth) person can hit the kill zone. I would suggest the 243.
The discharge of a muzzle-loader is loud, without question, but it's not significantly different than a contemporary rifle. If the bullet misses the deer, the sound will most likely scare it.
It would be classed as a Category B firearm, for which a "genuine need" must be demonstrated before the purchase would be allowed, including explanation as to why a Category A firearm (rimfire rifle, muzzleloader, paintball market, air gun) would not be sufficient for your needs.
