ABSTRACT:
A bullet starter for loading a conical hollow-point bullet into a barrel of a muzzle loading firearm. The starter comprises a handle and an impact member, with the impact member comprising an outwardly protruding starter pin in communication with the handle. The starter pin is insertable into a hollow point of a hollow-point bullet, and has a diameter less than the diameter of the hollow point and a depth greater than the depth of the hollow point. These diameter and depth characteristics assure that only the floor of the hollow point has significant impact contact from the impact member when impact is applied to force the bullet into the barrel, and that the nose of the hollow-point bullet is substantially untouched by the impact member and therefore not deformed. The starter pin can be releasably retained and therefore interchangeable with differently-sized pins. The handle also can have extending therefrom a driver rod having a driver pin disposed at the end thereof and sized the same as the starter pin for insertion into the hollow point of a hollow-point bullet for moving the bullet deeper into the barrel.
