Recently purchased a lot of reloading supplies, mostly 45lc and 38spl bullets but there's few boxes with projectiles like this which I suspect are in muzzleloading department.

I would agree that D and E are slugs for shotguns. B and C look like Minie type projectiles for muzzle loaders. B is a traditional style Minie, C being a modern style and has not been sized or lubed. A could be a modern type Minie for 45 cal. ML rifles or possibly for reloading an old black powder era cartridge.
 
I consider C to be a "Bore Rider" style bullet.

They don't get sized.

The small diameter rides along the bore.

The four rings are driven into the rifling.
