The Hornady Bore Driver 50 Caliber 290 Grain FTX Muzzleloading Bullets are engineered for hunters who demand precision and terminal performance from their inline or traditional muzzleloader. Unlike conventional saboted projectiles, these rounds feature a polymer base that forms an integral seal with the bore itself—eliminating the complexity of separate sabots while maximizing energy transfer downrange. Each 20-pack contains match-grade ammunition built to make every shot in your muzzleloader season count.
At the tip sits Hornady's FTX bullet, combining a gilded metal jacket with the company's proprietary FlexTip technology. That polymer tip isn't just for aerodynamics; it's designed to initiate reliable expansion on game while the InterLock ring locks the core and jacket together for consistent, lethal penetration. The 290-grain weight strikes a balance suited to 50-caliber systems—substantial enough for deep reach and energy retention, yet manageable in recoil and powder charge.
Load development is straightforward: the integrated polymer base does the bore-sealing work, so you're not hunting for the right sabot fit or juggling components. Just charge, seat, and fire. For dedicated muzzleloader hunters who've grown tired of troubleshooting sabot performance or chasing accuracy inconsistency, the Bore Driver system simplifies the game without sacrificing ballistic credibility.
| Caliber | 50 |
| Bullet Weight | 290 Grains |
| Diameter | .499" |
| Ballistic Coefficient (G1) | .135 |
| Sectional Density | .166 |
| Product Line | Bore Driver FTX |
| Box Count | 20 |
The Bore Driver FTX is designed for 50-caliber systems. The .499" diameter and integrated polymer base are engineered to seal and perform in standard 50-caliber inline and traditional muzzleloaders.
Instead of a separate sabot, the Bore Driver uses an integral polymer base that seals the bore. This simplifies loading, reduces component count, and is designed to deliver consistent energy transfer without sabot-fit variables.
Each box contains 20 Bore Driver FTX projectiles, ready to load.
Yes. The FTX bullet's polymer tip is specifically engineered for hunting applications, working with the jacket and InterLock ring to initiate expansion and penetration on game.
