Thor™ Hammer Bullets are sized to be bore specific. The customer will have to size their bore using one of our sizing packs.
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.
**** Before purchasing your first pack of Thor™ Bullets, you will first need to order a test sizing pack of 4 bullets of diameters of .500”, .501”. .502” and .503” that allows you to correctly size your bore. It is important that you start with the smallest diameter Thor™ Bullet, and work your way up in diameter size until you find the proper fitting Thor™ Bullet for your muzzleloader. While manufacturers have similar bore diameters, they will vary .001”-.002" from gun to gun, so it is extremely important to correctly size your bore to determine which diameter works best for you.
To determine which bullet is best for your muzzleloader, start with an empty rifle, remove the breechplug and slide in the .500 bullet. If it slips easily down the bore, you then try the .501 and so on. When you find the diameter that requires about 20/30 ft./lbs. of force to push down the barrel (that is comparable to the resistance you get loading a standard sabot bullet), you have found the correct size for your rifle. This bullet has a Ballistic Coefficient of .200.

Customer Reviews
Got it sighted in with 3 shots, at 100 there all touching out of my CVA Accura MR-X. Now the real test is to put it thru a deer. Highly recommend it and got my brother to switch as well!!!
Great bullet 👌
I researched and selected these Thor Hammer 297 grain bullets for my Accura MR-X. I'm using Blackhorn 209 powder. What a great combo. With iron sights (here in CO that's what I'm limited to using) I was able to get a 1.5" groups at 100 yards. Very consistent and accurate. HIGHLY recommend these!
I have used round ball to power belt and have chosen the Thor bullet. No lead is important for my children’s diet and and it’s great at the range. Brought down a four point buck at 85 yards with the 297 hollow point that I found in the opposing hide. Excited to for elk season.
