Hornady Black Powder Muzzleloading projectiles are ideal for either a day at the range or a day in the field with your favorite muzzleloader. These round balls are cold swaged from pure lead which eliminates air pockets and voids common to cast balls. Hornady lead round balls are smoother and rounder which assures better rotation and consistency. Hornady's rigorous inspection process ensures that you will receive consistent and uniform round balls meeting both weight and concentricity tolerances.

Good lead
These are made out of soft lead, it's not an alloy of other metals, or at least I cant tell if anything else is inside. They are uniform and spherical, and didnt have that "tail end" that can happen from the opening of a mold. I've gotten worse quality at a bigger price.

Spherical perfection (uni
Spherical perfection (uniformly round). I cast my own, but they don't match the quality of these. Cold swaging doesn't leave a sprue spot, so they are perfectly round. They shoot true, and are a decent price.

I just received these alo
I just received these along with a few other items today. These balls are truly surprising with respect to their accuracy. I've found that two Pyrodex Pellets work best, so about 100 gr, for a little over 100 yards of superb accuracy. Pushing them much faster I do get typical 'spin-off' behavior beyond about 75 yards, but that's to be expected. As these are round balls make sure you lube your patches generously (even if they come pre-lubed it's still not a bad idea to add some more). Overall great product, very pleased.

Can patched round balls be used in a modern muzzleloader like the T/C center impact inline?
Answer:
Please consult your owners manual or contact T/C directly for the proper load to be used in your inline.
What is the Weight in (Grains) please? Thanks Kenny
Answer:
Hornady does not list that specification.
