Hornady 440 RDBAL BULT Horn Lead Balls 440 Dia 100/Box

Hornady 440 round balls are purpose-built lead projectiles for traditional muzzleloader hunting and target shooting. Each box contains 100 uniform .440-diameter balls cold-swaged from pure lead, engineered to eliminate the air pockets and inconsistencies that plague cast alternatives. Whether you're loading patched balls or using compression fit, these deliver the consistency that matters when you're zeroing in on game or chasing tight groups at the range.

Cold swaging is the difference here. Instead of casting, Hornady manufactures these balls through a controlled swaging process that compresses pure lead into a perfectly round form free of voids and surface defects. The result is a smoother, rounder projectile that rotates more predictably and performs with the uniformity you need for reliable accuracy downrange. Every ball in the box meets the same diameter and weight standards—no picking and choosing.

The .440 diameter makes these compatible with most traditional muzzleloaders designed for that bore size, though as always, you'll want to verify your rifle's specific requirements and your preferred loading method before heading out. Pure lead construction preserves the authenticity of black powder shooting while delivering the performance consistency that separates precision reloaders from the rest. A solid choice for hunters and shooters who demand reliability from every shot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What diameter muzzleloader do these .440 balls fit?

These are .440-diameter projectiles designed for muzzleloaders with .440 bore size. Always verify your specific firearm's requirements and confirm compatibility with your preferred loading method—whether patched or compression fit—before purchasing.

What's the difference between swaged and cast round balls?

Hornady's cold-swaged balls are compressed from pure lead under controlled conditions, which eliminates air pockets and voids that naturally occur in cast balls. This manufacturing process results in smoother, rounder surfaces and greater uniformity in weight and concentricity—both critical for consistent accuracy.

How many balls come in each box?

Each box contains 100 round balls, ready to load.

Are these pure lead balls suitable for both hunting and target shooting?

Yes. The pure lead construction and swaged precision make them suitable for both traditional muzzleloader hunting and range shooting applications where consistency and reliability matter.
