I think modern ones are allowed. These are the rules. Might mean more to you than they do to me.

Those rules allow modern muzzleloaders except during the heritage season. they specifically bar inline muzzle loaders for that rule and that's the distinguishing feature of a modern muzzle loader.

Those rules also seem to bar copper jacketed lead since they specify lead.

"Plain Lead" is kind of weird wording. I'm not sure anyone actually uses 100% lead. Usually it's a mixture of tin or something else. When casting your own, plumbers lead is about as good as you can get, and it's 98%. People who cast for reloading cartridges will use 90% or lower lead.

I wouldn't use them but I also wouldn't be surprised if copper jacketed lead bullets were perfectly legal. They're certainly banned in cali on the basis of them being lead. But the one you linked looks like it's a 100% copper cali compliant round and wouldn't be allowed.
