Hornady Lead Round Balls are precision cold-swaged projectiles designed for .54 caliber muzzleloading use. Sold in boxes of 100, each ball measures .520″ at the breech and is produced from pure lead to minimize air pockets and voids common to cast projectiles. The cold-swaging process creates a smoother, rounder surface to support consistent rotation and shot-to-shot repeatability. Hornady subjects these balls to inspection for uniform size, weight, and concentricity.
