Yes we can but only if it meats these regulations pistols have to have 500 ft pounds of energy at the muzzle the ? is can this gun do that here is the IL regs

Legal Firearms
? Shotguns, loaded with slugs only, of not
larger than 10 nor smaller than 20 gauge,
not capable of firing more than 3 consecutive
slugs; or
? Single or double barreled muzzleloading
rifles of at least .45 caliber shooting a single
projectile through a barrel of at least sixteen
inches in length; or
? Centerfire revolvers or centerfire single-shot
handguns of .30 caliber or larger with a minimum
barrel length of 4 inches.
Legal Ammunition
? For shotguns and muzzleloading firearms,
the minimum size of the projectile shall be
.44 caliber. A wad or sleeve is not considered
a projectile or a part of the projectile.
? For handguns, a bottleneck centerfire cartridge
of .30 caliber or larger with a case
length not exceeding 1.4 inches, or a
straight-walled centerfire cartridge of .30
caliber or larger, both of which must be
available as a factory load with the published
ballistic tables of the manufacturer
showing a capability of at least 500 foot
pounds of energy at the muzzle. Note:
There is no case length limit for straightwalled
cartridges.
? Non-expanding, military-style full metal
jacket bullets cannot be used to harvest
white-tailed deer; only soft point or expanding
bullets (including copper/ copper-alloy
rounds designed for hunting) are legal
ammunition
Additional Muzzleloading Regulations
? A muzzleloading firearm is defined as a
firearm that is incapable of being loaded
from the breech end.
? Only black powder or a ?black powder substitute?
such as Pyrodex may be used.
Modern smokeless powders (nitrocellulosebased)
are an approved blackpowder substitute
only in muzzleloading firearms that
are specifically designed for their use.
? Percussion caps (shotgun primers are legal
percussion caps), wheellock, matchlock or
flint type ignition only may be used.
? Removal of percussion cap or removal of
prime powder from frizzen pan with frizzen
open and hammer all the way down or
removal of prime powder from flashpan and
wheel un-wound or removal of prime powder
and match with match not lit shall
constitute an unloaded
muzzleloading firearm.

It won't meet the regs. Traditions has only recomended loads, not ballistic tables. It's a BS law but it is a law. It's like CO's writing tickets for cartridge reloads from factory data. It's legal to use reloads but if you tell a CO it's a reload you'll get a ticket. If the Encore handgun has ballstic tables in the manual then it's about the only LEGAL Ml handgun. My Hawkeye is legal if I use black powder and a #11 cap which I refuse to do so I won't hunt deer with it. However it's perfectly legal to shoot a rabbit with a 300 gr saboted bullet and a 60 grain charge of Triple seven.

Legal firearms for the Late Winter Antlerless
Deer Hunting Season include all firearms
described under Firearm Deer Hunting
Season, page 10. In addition, muzzleloading
handguns may also be used. Legal muzzleloading
handguns are limited to single-shot
muzzleloading handguns (blackpowder handguns
that are incapable of being loaded from
the breech end) of .50 caliber or larger capable
of producing at least 500 foot pounds of
energy at the muzzle according to published
ballistic tables of the manufacturer.Singleshot
muzzleloading handguns must use a
projectile of .44 caliber or larger with sufficient
blackpowder or ?blackpowder substitute?
(such as Pyrodex) to produce at least 500 foot
pounds of energy at the muzzle. A wad or
sleeve is not considered a projectile or part of
a projectile.
