Overview of Hornady Ammo

Joyce Hornady sold his first bullet in 1949, a .30 caliber Spire Point weighing 150 grain. He was using a surplus bullet assembly press in a rented garage, where his company was born from his desire to build a better product that he could use himself – because first and foremost, Joyce was a shooter. His company would grow to become a force in the ammunition and reloading markets. Hornady Manufacturing grew rapidly during its first few years, increasing sales by 300 percent by the second year.

Hornady's innovation began during World War II when he repurposed .22 rimfire cartridges into bullets suitable for varmint shooting. Recognizing the lack of hunting ammunition in the post-war market, he focused on producing accurate, reliable rounds, leading to the development of Hornady's signature Spire Point bullet. Despite challenges like raw material shortages during the Korean War, Hornady adapted by creating alternative products, which later contributed to advancements in bullet jacket technology.

Expansion and Ballistic Breakthroughs

In 1958, Hornady moved to a dedicated facility in Grand Island, Nebraska, complete with an underground range for onsite ballistics testing. The company collaborated with U.S. Army ballisticians to develop the secant ogive design, which became a hallmark of Hornady bullets. Over the years, Hornady acquired competitors like Pacific Tool Company and West Coast Shot Company, consolidating its position as a leader in ammunition manufacturing.

Hornady's Family Legacy

The unexpected death of Joyce Hornady in 1981 marked a pivotal moment for the company. Under the leadership of his son, Steve Hornady, the company not only survived but thrived, maintaining its reputation for quality and innovation. Today, family members are required to gain outside experience before joining the business, ensuring a fresh perspective while preserving the Hornady legacy.

Shooting from a FIE Titan, which is usually not accurate beyond a few yards, but these grouped pretty well (less than 3 inches at 5 yards). Much better than 50 grain FMJ.

Bought 250 rounds and shot 200 of them. Obviously absolutely no problems whatsoever as expected. These are pricey but how often are you firing massive rounds of self-defense ammo?

Bullet Points: Hornady Ammo

Joyce Hornady was a dedicated shooter, and created his company in 1949 out of his desire to create high-quality ammunition that he could use himself. This passion led Hornady ammo to grow rapidly, with sales increasing 300% by its second year.
After a shortage brought on by the Korean War, Hornady manufactured products unrelated to ammunition, like jewelry and condenser cans. This led to his later creation of ultra-thin copper jackets for varmint bullets.
The Hornady plant in Nebraska features an underground range, which allowed Joyce to perform onsite testing – another sign of dedication that led to innovative bullet designs like the LEVERevolution.
