This specific documentation provides detailed projectile performance predictions for Hornady’s Bore Driver FTX bullets. These specialized projectiles, designed for muzzleloading firearms, are known for their polymer tip, enhancing ballistic coefficient and promoting expansion upon impact. Reference materials like this typically offer data points such as muzzle velocity, energy, trajectory, and wind drift at various distances. An example would be a table showing how a particular FTX bullet, propelled by a specific powder charge, performs at ranges from 50 to 300 yards.
Access to this type of performance data is critical for accurate shot placement and ethical hunting. Understanding how a projectile behaves in flight enables hunters to compensate for bullet drop and wind deflection, leading to cleaner harvests. Historically, muzzleloading involved significant trial and error to achieve consistent accuracy. Modern advancements in projectile design and the availability of precise ballistic data have transformed muzzleloading into a much more precise pursuit.
