Hornady Black Powder 36 cal Lead Round Balls for muzzleloading

Hornady .36 Caliber Lead Round Balls for Muzzleloading

The .36 caliber is one of the most historically significant muzzleloading cartridges in American history — the chambering of the iconic Colt 1851 Navy revolver carried by lawmen, soldiers, and frontiersmen throughout the Civil War era and Western expansion. Hornady .36 Caliber Lead Round Balls are the right projectile for these classic revolvers and small-bore traditional muzzleloading rifles, delivering the consistency and precision that accurate black powder shooting requires.

Each ball is cold-swaged from pure lead — a manufacturing process that produces a perfectly uniform sphere with no air pockets, voids, or seams. That uniformity is critical for accuracy in .36 caliber revolvers, where the ball must shear cleanly through the cylinder mouth and seat consistently in each chamber. Hornady's tight dimensional tolerances ensure every ball loads the same way and performs the same way, shot after shot.

The Standard for .36 Caliber Cap-and-Ball Revolvers

Hornady .36 caliber round balls are the go-to choice for Colt 1851 Navy, Colt 1861 Navy, and Remington 1858 .36 caliber reproductions, as well as traditional .36 caliber sidelock rifles. Loaded over FFFg black powder or Pyrodex P with CCI #10 or #11 percussion caps, they deliver the authentic cap-and-ball experience with the accuracy and consistency that Hornady's manufacturing is known for.
