Thompson Center 9012R BORE DRIVER 50 290GR 20PK
$23.16
The Thompson Center Bore Driver 50 is a sabot-free muzzleloader bullet engineered specifically for .50 caliber rifles. Unlike traditional saboted rounds that require extra steps to load, these 290-grain projectiles seat directly into the bore for fast, consistent shot-to-shot performance. Built on Hornady's proven terminal design, Bore Driver bullets combine a polymer FlexTip with a reinforced copper-alloy jacket to deliver controlled expansion and deep penetration on big game—reliable performance when you only get one shot per season.
Each box contains 20 bullets plus four clear speed loaders that do double duty: use them at the range to load rounds into the chamber, then stash them in your pack to organize powder and extra bullets in the field. The gas seal base is engineered with an internal post and centering petals that engage the rifle's rifling for maximum power transfer from ignition through the bore.
Bore Driver bullets work in any .50 caliber muzzleloader and are designed to perform even at the lower velocities typical of traditional blackpowder hunting loads. No sabot complications, no special loading procedures—just straightforward, accurate shooting for deer, elk, and other game where muzzleloader seasons demand precision in a single shot.
