PowerBelt® ELR Bullets were specially designed for CVA’s® Paramount™ rifle, but can provide superior long-range performance in any 45 caliber muzzleloader with a twist rate of 1:24 or faster. This 15-round box of 285-grain .45 caliber AeroTip ELR bullets represents cutting-edge muzzleloading ammunition engineered for extended-range precision. Critical to the ELR’s velocity potential is that it is 45 caliber, rather than 50 caliber. Because of the smaller bore diameter, the ELR bullets can be longer than a same-weight 50 caliber bullet would be. That length, when combined with the bullet’s aggressively tapered shape, delivers a ballistic coefficient of .333, which is superior to that of any 50 caliber muzzle loading projectile.
Internally, the ELR is similar in concept to the PowerBelt AeroLite bullet, incorporating a large hollow point cavity which eliminates weight from the core, allowing that weight to be used to lengthen the bullet. The polycarbonate tip preserves aerodynamic integrity and prevents premature expansion on game. Using the recommended super-magnum charge of 140 grains by-volume of Blackhorn propellant, ELR bullets achieved muzzle velocities in excess of 2200 fps. Perfect for medium to heavy game, these bullets combine the velocity potential of modern muzzleloading with the inherent accuracy and reliability PowerBelt is known for.
