Hornady Bore Driver™ FTX Overview

[@tcat3315]

I’m super excited for this. Ive told buddies for years if hornady ever comes up with this style bullet I’ll switch. The second I heard about this I called my local gun store and asked them to order 5 boxes just for me 🤣. I can’t wait to get my hands on them, muzzleloader season can’t get here fast enough.

[@JamesMiller-wt9dk]

Also thanks all you guys do. I'm sure it's tough with so much demand for ammunition and reloading supplies. Keep up the great work.

[@hornady]

The team is working hard every hour of every day to get ammunition, bullets, reloading supplies and security products out the door. Thanks for your support!

[@Hill_Billy_Without_A_Hill]

Now, just keep it more affordable than the competitors bullet in PRICE and QUANTITY, and your golden.

[@charlieplunkett9748]

And offer in .45 I'd like to try it against powerbelts elr in my paramount

[@jcurrence3008]

have a question I was using Hornady bore driver FTX last year with 50/50 paradox about 50 yards from the target the bullets would come out of the rifle of the Thompson Center encore and just land in front of the target as if the bullet is not sealing against the barrel any help you could literally pick the bullet back up and reuse it the only reason why I bought these cuz I couldn't find my TC shock waves that I typically get

[@iBleedStarsAndBars]

When is the new reloading manual coming out. I pre ordered when I bought the App early 2020

[@timturner7609]

Doesn't the app come with a free copy?

[@iBleedStarsAndBars]

The way I understand when I purchased the app in 2020 that as soon as the 11th edition was released I would receive a copy. I am still waiting and was charged again for the app this year

[@bobbystevens4087]

I would love to see a 40 cal version. Also many of the custom builders have been smooth sizeing the projectile to match the bore with fantastic results. Any thoughts on smooth sizeing the bore driver for a percice fit ?

[@lonnieroth969]

So when are we going to be able to buy some bore drivers at the store. Been waiting for months. C'mon man! What the heck.

[@lukemorgan3368]

Bought two boxes already! Check online!

[@ozark_trapper]

Do ya have any plans making 50 cal 250 in them? I shoot 250 gr sst. I want to stay around 250 .

[@timothymckenna8031]

I finally got a 10oz bottle of Blackhorn 209 powder and loading tubes. How much powder do you recommend for my Hornady 50 cal HTX bullet? Thanks!

[@toddvaught6587]

Any suggested powder charges for your 290gr..behind blackhorn 209 in a rem 700 ultimate muzzleloader...with a breach plug that has Fed.215m primers? I'm from Norfolk of the great state of NE...go huskers! 🙏

[@davinaclark9299]

Will the 12 ga interlock or the rifled slugs be available in component form as well as any ftx.

[@charlieplunkett9748]

I've got a .45 cva paramount that would like to chew on a few of these but you gotta make em in .45 first!!

[@bennieevans9520]

Do you make them in 45 caliber? I love you bullets in everything I have especially in 300 rum.

[@paulklima409]

How does this bullet shoot out of the Nitro fire?

[@michaelcrawford1011]

Can I get 200 or 250 grain in the boredriver my cva shoots them really good thanks

[@ozark_trapper]

I too would like 250gr. My cva shoots 250 gr very well.

[@johnbalogna9]

Guess they saw how popular the federal BORE LOCK were.

[@michaelcrawford1011]

Wanting to know I'm looking for a bullet that will mushroom and go through the white tell deer I've tried a lot of bullets thay ant what thay say thay are will the Hornaday do what I'm looking for 50 cal cva

[@johnbalogna9]

@@michaelcrawford1011 federal Bor lock have consistently been recovered with textbook mushroom that being said usually at 80 to 100 yd they will not pass completely through but will be recovered under the skin on the Pharcyde usually under that distance it'll blow right through but it still leaves a fairly decent Blood Trail when necessary because we've had quite a few deer drop right in their tracks with the federal Bor lock

[@stevecallaway8457]

Will hornady muzzleloader bullet work in 50cal traditions Bulkstalker rifle.

[@jameshagerman7681]

Yes

[@brandonbelanger6867]

Now are people thumping out with pellets such as triple 7 or loose power like black horn 209 I’m a big fan of black horn and have been using the old xtp hollow point in my tc omega making very nice groups with them and very nice performance on deer with them I have shot over 20 deer with the xtp so changing to something new would like to see some more videos on performance with them

[@Ca21431]

9 months after your filming good luck trying to find them!!!

[@marcjohnson6582]

Are these designed for magnum charges

[@christalkington2137]

When will bcs numbers be available?

[@garyburchett9060]

Any reason you couldn't give a close up of one so that we know what you're talking about?

[@zzz7zzz9]

or show it in action maybe too. not just a bunch of talk, which really means nothing, especially coming from the company themselves.

[@davinaclark9299]

You guys need to make a 30 grain .224 vmax or a 28 grain. The 35 is good in my top 3. Or even better a 32 gr. .224 hornet.

[@lambertsaldi1550]

Hey guys do you make it in 45 Cal !!?? THE VERMONTER

[@JamesMiller-wt9dk]

Does work better with pellets or loose powder?

[@hornady]

We've had good results with both.

[@marcodasilva5214]

Do you have it at 45 calibre?

[@alvinhamby1779]

Lots of people! What is a clutch?

[@skipsmith9692]

Have you discovered a particular rifle it works with better than others? I am new to muzzle loading and want to spend my money wisely. I am happy with what you have provided with my rifles in competition so I am pretty certain this will be a winner.

[@hornady]

So far in testing this has worked well in any muzzleloader that they have tried.

[@skipsmith9692]

@Washington Bear looking at them right now. Seems like a pretty neat system and priced pretty nice as well. Never shot one before so this will be a new experience for me. Several friends take advantage of the extended season for mussel loaders so I thought what the heck...I love hunting so I will give it a whirl.

[@hornady]

@@skipsmith9692 That is our favorite thing about the muzzleloader season here in Nebraska, it lasts all December!

[@Hill_Billy_Without_A_Hill]

@Washington Bear Not always, could just mean there is a marketing partnership.

Cva paramount is hard to beat for the money

[@randyjohnson6845]

I have killed alot of deer with hornady bullets...I also have spent alot of good times at the shooting range with hornady...I bet in 1990 i was the first or very close to the first man shooting hornady sabots in Florida ...I had to buy hornady bullets and the sabots separately

[@levijackson9524]

Almost sounds like a powerbelt but not quite.

[@jameshagerman7681]

This is essentially an improved powerbelt. Actually jacketed rather than copper washed, interlock design which has proven itself on game from coyotes to cape buffalo, and a flat bullet base allowing you to take off the skirt and run them in 54x50 sabots if you have a 54 caliber muzzleloader you'd like to boost the performance of, be that a sidelock or an older inline. Coming in what are essentially speed loader tubes is a bonus.

[@treyskulski3941]

@Rhett G West did you like them more than the sst?

[@jamescannon4917]

I can't find these

Maybe these guys took a break while waiting for a shipment of primers. ;-)

[@kirkmarrie8060]

Had a Hornady sabotted slug slip from barrel in extreme cold. Missed big buck. Switched to Powerbelt. Won't switch to Hornady. Too late to the game.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

14 minutes and the bullets are out of focus..

[@tequilarose3829]

basical u just took the federal bore lock idea!!!!

[@jameshagerman7681]

No. Federal bore lock is essentially a modern take on a compression bullet as seen in various European militaries in the 1850s and 1860s muzzleloading rifles. This is an improvement of the Powerbelt design which is essentially a take on the Minie design with the skirt that flairs out to engage the rifling upon firing.

[@sourpoison5681]

Priorities......... Ammo not videos, please.

[@hornady]

We are making ammo every second of the day. Trust me you don't want someone who does videos like me making your ammo.

[@Hill_Billy_Without_A_Hill]

If you think you can do better, start making bullets.

[@Mr.Big-Gunz]

This does not impress me,, using words like "desighned from the ground up" is foolish,, every bullet on earth was designed from the ground up..,, stop trying to invent new stuff all the time, and concentrate on doing something useful like getting 32-20 ammo on the shelf, or getting some primers & gas checks on shelves for people that reload,, you leave out the practical things trying to reinvent the wheel,, go back to thinking inside the box like Joyce Hornady did,, you young guys invent all this new bullshit that nobody even needs,, & you can keep your fancy new products & plastic guns...

[@wadepederson8457]

I shoot now for no more than 40 cents a round without primer/powder,this looks like another glorified power belt, I have no problem with a saboted bullet ìts fast flat and accurate, so my question is are you going to sell them for 35 to 40 cents a piece,then I can see if they stack up to what I have now, I don't think so but you can prove me wrong ? aim small good hunting. So what say you ?
