Hornady Great Plains Muzzleloading Lead Hollow Point Bullets - Box of 20

The Hornady Great Plains Muzzleloading Lead Hollow Point Bullets are purpose-built for hunters who shoot traditional and inline muzzleloaders. Each box of 20 delivers the kind of reliable, field-proven performance that's made Hornady a trusted name in handloading and muzzleloader ammunition. If you're hunting whitetail, elk, or other game with a muzzleloader, these lead hollow points are engineered to expand on impact and deliver consistent energy transfer downrange.

What sets Great Plains bullets apart is their three-stage bearing surface design. The base diameter is smaller to minimize loading friction—a real advantage when you're ramming bullets down the bore shot after shot. As you move up the bullet, the diameter increases progressively, allowing the bearing surfaces to properly engage the rifling and grooves of your muzzleloader barrel. This graduated design ensures reliable velocity and accuracy without requiring a sabot.

The thin skirt at the base expands when fired, sealing the bore to prevent gas leakage and velocity loss—critical for consistent ballistics in hunting scenarios. Every bullet ships pre-lubricated with an all-natural lube, so you can load straight from the box without mixing or applying additional sealant. That's convenience without compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a sabot to load these bullets?

No. Great Plains bullets are designed with a tapered bearing surface that engages your muzzleloader's rifling directly. They load and fire without a sabot.

Can I reload these bullets or do I need to buy new ones for each shot?

These are lead bullets intended for muzzleloading. We don't have information about reloading or reuse; treat them as single-use ammunition.

What game are these bullets suitable for?

Hornady designed Great Plains bullets specifically for hunting. The hollow point construction and bore-sealing skirt are engineered for reliable expansion and energy transfer on game animals typical of muzzleloader hunting.

Are these pre-lubricated bullets ready to shoot out of the box?

Yes. They come pre-lubricated with all-natural lube, so you can load and fire them directly without additional preparation.
