Default Hornady's Bigger !!

Just saw on a gun show how.......

Hornady has added more machines to it's ammo making process
and that they are still getting copper, lead and supplies for their ammo making.....

to help out on the shortage.

They have 10% of it on their racks and 90% of it is going to the loading docks, as fast as they make it.

Later.

I have applauded Hornady since all this BS started. They're the one you see for sale most often. I'm sorry not alot of what all of the other ones have said just doesnt seem genuine, like something else is in play. I'm not just talking about bullet makers either, I'm talking about powder manufacturers, ammo manufacturers and component companies. It's just a gut feeling, I'm just not buying what they are trying to sell.

Kudos to Hornady.

Smile Hornady on Target

I avoided Hornady Bullets for years, then about
the 15 or more years ago started using them.

I don’t care what anyone says about Hornady,
I like their Bullets.

And Hornady being Midwesterns I think they
are smart, and see an opportunity. Their not
listening and following the others, they’re
there to make money, sell, sell, sell.

Several places around Town have Hornady
and their prices are still reasonable.

Good for Hornady, go Team Hornady.

Hornady customer service rocks, their bullets and brass are superb. 140g ELD match bullets, Hornady brass, OEM RPR 6.5cm, my reloads at 100y. I have nothing but good things to say about them! Still working on that 5th shot LOL

Hornady XTP bullets have always been the Gold Standard for accuracy in my revolvers, especially at long distances. I can always get tight groups from them at 100 to 200 yards in my 6" and 8-3/8" S&W revos.

I was in a gun shop in Missouri today and noticed new packaging for Hornaday bullets on the shelf. Instead of just dumped into a box they were individually stood up in a plastic tray

I would much rather pay for bullets the packaging

Might that have been a 9mm 20 pak of their SD XTP custom ammo ?
