About Hornady:

Hornady Manufacturing Company, founded in 1949 by Joyce Hornady, has become a leader in the ammunition industry. Headquartered in Grand Island, Nebraska, Hornady has built its reputation on innovation and precision. The company is known for its Superformance line of ammunition, which uses proprietary propellants to increase velocity by up to 200 feet per second without increasing felt recoil. Hornady's commitment to quality is evident in their state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in the United States, where they produce a wide range of ammunition for hunting, sport shooting, and self-defense. Their LEVERevolution technology, introduced in 2005, revolutionized lever-action rifle ammunition by allowing the use of spitzer bullets in tubular magazines. Hornady's dedication to research and development has led to numerous breakthroughs in bullet design, including the SST (Super Shock Tip) bullet, which offers excellent expansion and weight retention for hunting applications.
