Thor™ Lightning Bullets are a one-size-fits-all bullet. These bullets are tighter fitting, but no bore specific sizing or sizing packs are needed.
The Thor™ Bullets are high performance, full-bore muzzleloading bullets. The .50 caliber ballistic tip bullets feature a 100% copper construction and are manufactured by Barnes™ using their X Bullet® platform along with their proven expansion technology. The Thor™ Bullet is proven to be extremely accurate at long ranges, while providing lethal expansion on deer and elk-sized game.
The Thor™ Bullet's hollow base expands when the powder goes off, both gripping the rifling and sealing the bore. These bullets actually shoot 75-100 FPS faster than a Powerbelt, due to their superb sealing power. If it is a quality conical you are looking for, that won’t fragment into a million pieces, the Thor™ Bullet is the way to go. This bullet has a Ballistic Coefficient of .200.

Engineered to be Better!
Thor bullets are the industry leader in terminal performance and weight retention. Our bullets feature a true copper gas seal to ensure a precision fit to your barrel.
Got these as I wanted to get away from the plastics skirts on other bullets and away from lead if I could.
Googled all copper bullet for muzzleloader and found Thor Bullets.
I love the marketing and took a chance.... I am beyond excited with the performance. Have not shot anything but a target so far, but they were super easy to reload. First one goes down like its buttered, second shot just as easy.
I got up to 6 shots without cleaning the barrel cause I was curious what it would do, and you could feel it get a little resistant loading, but it still went down easier than the second round from the plastic sabots that I was shooting. The 6th shot busted a watermelon sized rock at 40-50 yards dead center and the shot before it hit the small gatorade bottle I set out at 100 yards.
At this moment I am confident in shooting these bullets and will provide another review once I take a deer with them.
Equipment: CVA Wolf with 100 grains of Triple 7 ffg powder.
Disclaimer: The heavy bullet and 100 grains of powder will rock your shoulder. Though it is still shootable, just not what you want to line in haha I was not expecting it as I was using a 240 grain bullet before, and definitely noticed the change.
But I accidently grabbed a speed loader with last year's 85 grains of powder measured out and I could have shot that all day long without noticing, so I might be dropping my powder load down next year to 85-90 grains.
