The Pro-Shot .45–.58 Cal. Black Powder Ball Puller (PUL2) is a mechanical muzzleloading tool engineered to extract lead round balls or conical projectiles stuck in a firearm bore. Designed for clearing dry-ball loading errors or clearing misfires caused by damp powder, the unit features a hardened steel screw core surrounded by a protective brass centering collar. This collar directs the self-tapping steel tip directly into the center of soft lead projectiles while shielding internal barrel rifling from contact and scratches during extraction.

Key Features

• Hardened Steel Screw: Deep, sharp threads drive securely into soft lead projectiles without stripping during mechanical pulling force.
• Bore-Centering Brass Collar: Sized specifically for .45 to .58 calibre bores to keep the screw centered on the projectile and prevent hardened steel from contacting internal rifling.
• Direct Rod Mounting: Integrates a standard #10-32 male thread for direct attachment to compatible black powder range rods and ramrods.
• Compact Mechanical Construction: Fully mechanical hand-operated tool weighing approximately 17 grams (0.038 lbs packaged) for convenient range bag or field carry.

Who is the Proshot 45-58 Cal Black Powder Ball Puller for?

• Muzzleloading hunters — require bore-safe extraction of soft lead projectiles from .45 calibre (11.43 mm) to .58 calibre (14.73 mm) muzzleloader bores when clearing dry balls or damp powder charges in the field using this black powder ball puller.
• Black powder target shooters — rely on a #10-32 male thread interface that threads directly into standard #10-32 female American-pattern ramrods and range rods to pull stuck projectiles without risking damage to match rifling.

Less suitable for: Muzzleloaders with bore diameters below .45 calibre (such as .32 to .40 cal) where the brass collar is too wide to enter the bore, requiring a smaller calibre-specific .32–.40 ball puller; bores exceeding .58 calibre where the collar cannot properly center the screw; modern centerfire cleaning rods utilizing standard #8-32 female threads without an adapter; or non-lead projectiles such as solid copper bullets, hard-cast lead, and jacketed sabots that prevent the steel screw from tapping into the core.
