The Hornady Bore Driver FTX is a purpose-built muzzleloader bullet system combining a polymer base with an FTX projectile to deliver consistent sealing, energy transfer and expansion at a wide range of velocities. These bullets are quick to load and engineered to center and engage rifling for repeatable flight and point-of-impact consistency. The FlexTip polymer tip initiates reliable expansion at typical muzzleloader velocities while the InterLock ring helps secure the jacket to the core.
