Overview
Built for black powder muzzleloading, these .54 caliber round balls are suited to time at the range or in the field with a favorite muzzleloader. They are cold swaged from pure lead, a process intended to reduce air pockets and voids associated with cast balls. Hornady also notes a smoother, rounder surface and uniform size, weight, and roundness for consistent rotation and concentricity. Packaged 100 per box, they are listed for use on medium game from 50 to 300 pounds.

Considerations & Trade-offs

- Pure lead construction and traditional round-ball design are well suited to black powder use, but they are not a substitute for modern projectile options in every application.
- Packaged in a 100-count box, which is practical for range work but may be more than needed for occasional use.
- Listed for medium game from 50-300 lbs, so it is important to match the projectile to the intended game and local regulations.
