Hornady .50cal Bore Driver 3499 290 Grain FTX 20-count 67713 Bullet Type: Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP), 20% Off
If you mean Tripple 7 powder and you use ffG the answer is yes. And NO you do not need a patch. Remember a conicle bullet is meant for a fast twist barrel. A 1 in 48 twist barrel will shoot these but may not be as accurate as desired. 1 in 48 twist is what manufacturers use so their rifle will shoot conicles as well as roundballs. A 1 in 66 twist is the desired roundball/patch twist. hope this helps!
Found to be accurate out of a Traditions Nitro Fire Rifle. Loaded easily after numerous shots. Will buy again.Waitng for Federal BOR LOK Bullets are available to see what shoots best.Should be good for deer
I’m using these bullets in my CVA LRX using Blackhorn 209 powder and cheddite 209 primers. The 290 ftx bullets held great groups at a 100yr and stayed accurate through 200yr and 300yr. I’m impressed with their accuracy and consistency.

These did not live up to expectations. The second bullet was difficult to load and the third was harder. The video was misleading of how easily they slid down the barrel. I should have sent them back. TC Encore
I had great groups at 100yrds. I was able to get to 300yrds but hit a windage wall at 400yrds. I’d say that’s pretty good for black powder shooting.
Accurate & easy loading in Traditions Nitro- Fire rifle . i want to shoot federal BOP LOK bullets to find what what shoots best if they ever become available . Will see how the do on deer this season.

When you have one shot this muzzleloader season, make it count and use the best - Hornady Bore Driver FTX!
Features of Hornady .50cal Bore Driver 3499 290gr. Ftx 20-count:
LOADS FAST AND EASY
Without a sabot, the Bore Driver FTX seats quickly and easily for shot after shot performance.
MAXIMUM LETHALITY
The FTX bullet incorporates an InterLock ring that helps retain bullet weight upon impact that when coupled with a tough copper alloy jacket delivers deep penetration and expansion for the ultimate in on-game lethality.
PATENTED FLEXTIP TECHNOLOGY
FlexTip initiates expansion even at low velocities enabling enhanced muzzleloader terminal performance.
PERFORMANCE-BOOSTING BASE
The polymer base features a post that fits into the bottom of the bullet. This post swells in diameter at ignition for better torque engagement from inside the bullet and the centering petals grip the bullet's boattail while the skirt engages the rifling to maximize energy transmission.
