Powerbelt Bullets

About PowerBelt

PowerBelt Bullets has revolutionized muzzleloading since the late 1990s, becoming America's #1-selling muzzleloader bullet brand.

The company was founded by Del Ramsey, who originally created Muzzleloading Magnum sabots in 1990 before developing the innovative PowerBelt design.

A small group of black powder enthusiasts set out to create the perfect muzzleloading projectile, solving common problems associated with traditional muzzleloader bullets and sabots.

PowerBelt is now owned by BPI Outdoors, which operates from a state-of-the-art 100,000+ square foot facility in Lawrenceville, Georgia.

The brand has become the benchmark for muzzleloader bullet performance, providing superior accuracy and ease of use without requiring sabots.
