Thompson Center 9013R BORE DRIVER ELD-X 50 340GR 12PK
$17.75
The Thompson Center Bore Driver ELD-X .50 cal 340gr muzzleloader bullets bring modern projectile engineering to your inline or traditional muzzleloader. This 12-pack gives you a reliable supply of loaded-and-ready ammo that combines ease of use with proven field performance. Unlike traditional saboted bullets, the Bore Driver features a polymer base that seats without a sabot—faster to load, less to fumble with between shots, and one fewer component to manage in the field or at the range.
At the core of each Bore Driver is Hornady's ELD-X bullet, engineered for controlled expansion and deep penetration on game. The design pairs a gilding metal jacket with a polymer tip that initiates expansion upon impact, while an InterLock ring helps the projectile retain mass as it passes through. That combination of rapid initiation and weight retention is what delivers the lethal performance muzzleloader hunters demand when the opportunity is one shot.
The real engineering trick here is the polymer base itself. Unlike a sabot, the base features a post that seats into the bullet's hollow base. When the powder ignites, that post swells to grip the bullet and engage the rifling, transmitting maximum energy into rotation and velocity. The result is faster, easier loading without sacrificing accuracy or consistency. No more fighting with loose sabots or worrying about separation—you seat the projectile, prime the breach, and you're ready.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Bore Driver bullets work in my Thompson Center or other inline muzzleloaders?
Yes. The Bore Driver is designed for .50 caliber muzzleloaders, both traditional and modern inline actions. The polymer base system works across platforms that fire .50 cal projectiles.
What's the advantage of no sabot?
The polymer base eliminates the separate sabot component, so loading is faster and simpler. You seat one unit instead of managing a bullet-and-sabot assembly, and there's no risk of sabot separation. The post in the base engages the bore directly for consistent energy transfer.
Are these good for hunting?
The ELD-X design with InterLock ring and polymer tip is built for hunting. The polymer tip initiates rapid expansion while the InterLock helps retain bullet weight for deep penetration—characteristics that deliver the lethality needed for game at hunting distances.
How many bullets come in a box?
Each pack contains 12 Bore Driver bullets, ready to load.
