Default Minimum bore/bullet requirements

Little poll and question here. The other day I went through all the states regs for muzzleloading season to discover how many states had a minimum bullet size of over .40 caliber. Not very many did. Many were minimum BORE SIZE of .40 caliber with no minimum bullet size listed. A few had minimum posted of .40 caliber bore size and .32 caliber minimum bullet size. And several others had absolutely no minimum bore or bullet.

The question posed here is, how many of you feel there should be a minimum bullet diameter/bore size as well as even a grain minimum for both powder as well as bullet weight. Yep there were a couple I remember stating minimum of like 200 grain bullet and 50 grain powder load.

Edit to add: What do you think those minimums should be if you feel there should be one. Include powder (by volume since that's how most set up their charges) as well as bore/bullet size and grain weight.
