Hornady Round Balls .457in 45 Calibre Lead Balls

• Cold-swaged pure lead construction — eliminates air pockets and voids common to cast balls
• Diameter: .457 inches — suited to 45-calibre muzzleloading rifles and percussion revolvers
• Uniform size, weight and roundness for consistent accuracy shot to shot
• Smoother, rounder surface promotes better rotation and improved ballistic consistency
• Pure lead replicates traditional black-powder projectile design
• Compatible with both patched-projectile and compression-fit loading — check bore size before selecting diameter

Hornady Round Balls are cold-swaged from pure lead to deliver the consistent accuracy that muzzleloading demands. The cold-swaging process eliminates the air pockets and voids that are common in cast balls, leaving a denser, more uniform projectile. The smoother, rounder surface promotes better rotation and repeatability from shot to shot. These are .457-inch diameter balls suited to 45-calibre muzzleloading rifles and percussion revolvers. Pure lead replicates the traditional materials used in black-powder shooting and gives the correct hardness for good bore engagement. Before selecting a ball diameter, check the bore size of your firearm and determine whether you intend to shoot compression-fit or patched-projectile style, as the correct diameter differs between the two methods. Hornady's manufacturing controls ensure that each ball is uniform in size, weight and roundness, so you can load with confidence knowing that variation in the projectile is not the source of any accuracy problem downrange.
