Hornady Manufacturing, often misspelled as Hornaday, is a company that, since 1949, has designed and built bullets and ammunition. Hornady Manufacturing is located in Grand Island, Nebraska. They were founded by a Mr. Joyce Hornady. His philosophy was to design bullets that were so accurate and precise that it is possible to fire 10 bullets through the same hole in the target. Since their
. founding, the company has run under a mission to produce only bullets that meet demanding quality standards. All Hornady bullets are tested on-site by the manufacturer. Hornady designs high-quality bullets used for many applications, including law enforcement, hunting, and self-defense. They sell bullets used in rifles and in handguns, as well as buckshot, from 17 caliber to 50 caliber. The total product line for bullets is over three hundred separate items. Hornady makes specialty bullets for both large game and small game. For example, Hornady Manufacturing is the inventor of the 17 caliber rimfire, a popular bullet for small game hunting. This bullet was designed with the same innovative spirit that Hornady Manufacturing puts into their entire product line. Hornady bullets are so high-quality that they are also used in military applications. For instance, Hornady bullets and ammunition are used by US and Canadian military snipers. The record for the longest-distance confirmed combat kill is held by a Canadian named Rob Furlong. He used a Hornady 50-caliber A-MAX bullet for the feat. Along with bullets, Hornady Manufacturing designs a wide range of other ammunition components. These include cartridge cases, shotgun shells and casings. They also produce documentation for the range and use of their bullets and ammunition, and other handloading equipment. All of their products meet the same type of demanding quality standards used for Hornady bullets, and have a variety of applications in the hunting, military, and law enforcement arenas.
