PowerBelt ELR Bullets w/Loading Tip .45 Cal 330gr 15/ct

If you're pushing a .45 caliber muzzleloader to its limits—especially a modern rifle like the CVA PARAMOUNT—the PowerBelt ELR Bullets are engineered for the long-range game. These 330-grain projectiles bring a ballistic coefficient of .333, substantially higher than conventional muzzleloading bullets, which means flatter trajectory and less wind drift over distance. That matters when you're stretching shots beyond typical muzzleloader range. The included loading tip makes seating these bullets clean and consistent, and they ship 15 per box.

The ELR's design centers on a smart hollow-point cavity that sheds weight from the core, allowing CVA to extend the overall bullet length without adding mass. That longer, tapered profile is what generates the superior ballistic coefficient. The polycarbonate tip fills the hollow cavity, a feature that controls expansion and prevents the bullet from opening too fast—critical for reliable performance at distance. This architecture draws from the proven PowerBelt AeroLite concept but optimizes it for the trajectory demands of extended-range shooting.

These bullets unlock their full potential when you're running maximum propellant charges. CVA testing with Blackhorn 209 at supermagnum loads produced muzzle velocities around 2560 fps, but optimal performance—meaning the velocity and bullet behavior these are designed for—comes with magnum or supermagnum powder charges. If you're hunting or shooting at distance with a modern in-line and you're willing to run hot loads, the ELR is worth the investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What muzzleloaders do these work in?

PowerBelt ELR Bullets are .45 caliber and work in any .45 muzzleloader, though they were specifically engineered for the CVA PARAMOUNT. Verify your rifle's compatibility with .45 caliber bullets and load data before use.

What powder charges should I use with these?

Optimal performance is achieved with magnum or supermagnum propellant charges. CVA testing used Blackhorn 209 at supermagnum levels; follow the specific load recommendations for your rifle and powder combination.

What's the ballistic coefficient, and why does it matter?

These bullets carry a .333 BC, which is substantially higher than standard muzzleloading projectiles. Higher ballistic coefficient means the bullet resists air drag better, resulting in flatter trajectory and less wind deflection—critical advantages for long-range shooting.

What's included in the box?

Each box contains 15 PowerBelt ELR Bullets and loading tips to help you seat them consistently.
