What difference does it make in the real world if the turkey is shot with a 32 cal muzzle loader or a 32-20 Winchester ?


Most of the rules of this nature were made back in the Days when a muzzle Loader was a True Muzzle Loader not one of these modern abominations shooting sabot bullets etc.
There is a World of difference in the carrying range of a .32 caliber round ball & a .32-20 bullet. These rules were for the most part made due to safety factors.
