Hornady Black Powder Lead Round Balls, .45 Cal .440 (100 ct)

Hornady’s Black Powder Lead Round Balls in .45 caliber, .440 diameter (Hornady part no. 6040), give muzzleloader and cap-and-ball revolver shooters a consistent, ready-to-load round ball packed 100 to a box. Hornady cold-swages these from pure lead rather than casting them, which eliminates the air pockets and voids that show up in cast round balls and leaves a smoother, rounder surface behind. That uniformity in size, weight, and roundness is what gives these balls better rotation down the bore and more consistent accuracy shot to shot.
