The Hornady Pennsylvania Conical Muzzleloading Bullets in .50 caliber are engineered for hunters running longer-barreled, slower-twist muzzleloaders who want more weight and impact than a traditional lead ball. At 240 grains, these conical projectiles deliver roughly 35% more mass than standard round shot, translating to deeper penetration and harder-hitting terminal performance on game. They're pre-lubricated, so there's no need for patches or sabots—load them and go.
If you're stretching shots or hunting larger game with a black powder rifle, the physics of a heavier conical bullet pays off. The knurled grooves on the bearing surface grip and hold lubricant, reducing fouling and keeping your bore cleaner across a shooting session. That's practical engineering that cuts down on ramrod work between shots.
Each box contains 50 bullets, so you've got enough for a serious range day or a full hunting season. These work best in firearms designed for the conical profile—confirm your rifle's compatibility before ordering, especially if you're used to shooting round balls.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do these conical bullets work in any .50 caliber muzzleloader?
Conical bullets perform best in rifles with slower twists and longer barrels, as noted in the design. If your muzzleloader is primarily set up for round balls or sabots, check your barrel twist rate and manufacturer guidance before switching to these. Compatibility depends on your specific firearm.
Do I need patches or sabots with these bullets?
No. These are pre-lubricated with knurled grooves on the bearing surface to hold the lubricant in place, so you load them directly into the bore without a patch or sabot.
What's included in the box?
Each box contains 50 pre-lubricated conical bullets ready to load.
What's the advantage of a 240-grain conical over a round ball?
The 240-grain conical delivers about 35% more weight than a typical lead round ball, providing greater penetration and knock-down power on game. The heavier projectile also suits hunters who want flatter trajectories and harder-hitting terminal performance at distance.
