PowerBelt .40 cal 265 gr ELR Bullets w/Loading Tip 15/ct

The CVA PowerBelt .40 cal 265 gr ELR bullets with loading tip are engineered for muzzleloader hunters and shooters who demand extended-range capability and consistent accuracy downrange. These .40 caliber projectiles deliver the ballistic performance modern in-line and traditional muzzleloaders require, especially when paired with higher powder charges in contemporary hunting rigs. The 265-grain weight and aerodynamic profile make them suited to hunters pushing effective range farther than conventional roundballs or lighter saboted options.

Built with a design philosophy centered on cleanliness and shot-string longevity, these PowerBelt ELR bullets produce minimal plastic residue during firing. That means you can run up to eight shots before a standard barrel swab becomes necessary—a practical advantage during a long range session or hunting day when you want minimal downtime between shots. The included loading tip simplifies seating the bullet, reducing the fumbling that can happen in cold conditions or low light.

The bullet's base geometry is optimized for muzzleloaders with higher powder volumes, delivering a tighter gas seal for more consistent performance. The fluted gas check, large diameter and ultra-smooth finish all contribute to the aerodynamic profile that underpins the ELR designation. The smaller hollow-point cavity is engineered for controlled expansion, balancing penetration and energy transfer on game-sized targets at distance.

This 15-count box gives you enough rounds for a hunting trip, practice session, or to test these bullets in your specific barrel before committing to larger quantities. If your muzzleloader is a .40 caliber shooter and you're looking to extend your effective hunting range or improve long-range target performance, these bullets deserve a serious look.

Frequently Asked Questions

What .40 caliber muzzleloaders are these bullets designed for?

These PowerBelt ELR bullets are .40 caliber full-diameter projectiles suitable for .40 cal in-line muzzleloaders and traditional rifles. The base design is optimized for modern muzzleloaders that use higher powder volumes, particularly CVA's Paramount platform.

How often do I need to swab my barrel when shooting these bullets?

Thanks to minimal plastic residue, PowerBelt ELR bullets can be shot up to eight times before a recommended barrel swab is needed. This makes them convenient for extended shooting sessions and hunting days where cleaning intervals matter.

Are these bullets suitable for long-range hunting?

Yes. The 265-grain weight, aerodynamic profile, and fluted gas check design are intended to support extended-range capability, making them a viable choice for hunters seeking to push effective distance beyond conventional muzzleloader projectiles.

What's included in the box?

Each box contains 15 PowerBelt ELR bullets with loading tips included to assist with seating.
