Overview
Built for muzzleloading shooters who want a traditional projectile option, this .45 caliber round ball is suited to both range sessions and field use. It is cold swaged from pure lead, a process intended to avoid the air pockets and voids associated with cast balls, while also promoting a smoother, rounder profile. Hornady’s inspection standards are aimed at keeping each ball uniform in size, weight, and concentricity for consistent loading and use. Packaged 100 per box, it is listed for medium game in the 50–300 lb range.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for .45 caliber muzzleloaders using .457" round balls, so fit is specific rather than universal across black powder setups.
- Pure lead construction and traditional round-ball design suit muzzleloading use, but this is not a modern projectile format.
- Pack size is 100 count, which is practical for range use and field supply, but may be more than needed for occasional shooters.
- Listed use is medium game from 50-300 lbs, so it is best matched to that application rather than larger game or other hunting needs.
