Horn Lead Balls .445 Diameter - Pack of 100 (25 Count)

Hornady lead balls .445 diameter are precision-swaged projectiles built for shooters who demand consistency in their muzzleloading. Whether you're shooting traditional flintlock, caplock, or modern inline muzzleloaders, these round balls deliver the uniform performance that accuracy demands. Cold-swaged from pure lead, each ball is engineered to eliminate the air pockets and voids that plague cast alternatives—a difference you'll notice in tighter groups and more predictable downrange results.

The manufacturing process yields balls that are mechanically identical in size, weight, and roundness, which translates to reliable rotation and shot-to-shot consistency. Pure lead construction preserves the traditional ballistic properties that have worked for centuries while meeting modern precision standards. The smoother surface finish ensures clean engagement with your patch and bore, reducing friction and fouling buildup during extended shooting sessions.

This pack contains 100 balls (four 25-count packets), giving you plenty for range work, hunting, or experimentation. Before you order, verify your firearm's bore diameter and confirm whether your loading method calls for compression fit or patched projectile loading—getting the right ball diameter for your specific setup is critical to safe, accurate performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What diameter lead ball do I need for my muzzleloader?

Lead ball diameter must match your firearm's bore size. Before ordering, verify your rifle or pistol's bore diameter and consult your owner's manual or load data. This .445 diameter is sized for specific bore dimensions—ordering the wrong size will result in poor accuracy or dangerous loading conditions.

Can I use these for both patched and compression-fit loading?

Lead ball compatibility depends on your specific firearm and loading method. Check your muzzleloader's documentation to confirm whether it's designed for compression fit or patched projectile loading, and verify that .445 diameter is correct for your setup.

What's included in a pack of 100?

You receive 100 lead balls total, packaged as four separate 25-count packets for convenient storage and organization.

How do swaged balls differ from cast balls?

Cold swaging eliminates air pockets and voids common to cast projectiles, resulting in more uniform weight, size, and roundness. This consistency delivers better accuracy and more reliable performance downrange.
