As a 4-H shooting sports coach and the SD State 22 pistol coach for our national team, please pass on to everyone at Hornaday, we appreciate everything you do to support us. Hope to see you guys at the Nationals in Grand Island at the end of June.
Thank you for the kind words! We did just announced some big news - we are pleased to announce that Hornady has just assumed management of the Heartland Public Shooting Park in Grand Island, Nebraska. We WILL see you there!
The camlock puller is great. If adjusted properly, it’s very easy on projectiles. And if you’re smooth, and your press is stable, it is a very clean way to recover powders! It’s saved a lot of material/components from the bucket of shame for a new handloader.
Your One Shot Gun Cleaner and Lube works great as a rust preventative, as proven by the independent testing mentioned here. Because it's a dry lube, I like to use it to swab my rifle bores as a final step after cleaning. And I've yet to see a POI shift when using it in a clean, cold barrel.
I found your podcast a few months ago and really enjoy the product reviews, knowledge and general information. Today was great because as the goal of the podcast was to inform people of the products. I found severa I was unaware of that seem very useful. Great show as always.
That is a great price for the hit indicator. I can't wait to get some for my range. I know it would increase the price. Offer it with a builtin solar charger like the Holoson red dots. It would be nice to have both options.
Hi Seth & co! I like it when you bring the items related to the podcast onto the table. It allows the "viewers" to see what you are talking about. Out here in New Zealand we don't have access to a lot of the stuff that you have in the states.
Agreed the Hornady One Shot is great stuff. Sure makes my bolts sing with the lube sprayed on them slick as can be. Also big Thanks for the Hornady Click-Adjust Bullet Seating Micrometer. The time I’ve saved and the accuracy while seating bullets is fantastic . Built rugged as well. Great product for anyone using Hornady seating dies
This was a great podcast! I would love to hear more about your “bedside” products. If someone breaks into my house in the middle of the night, what all products do you have that I could use, for pistol, shotgun, etc. Also do your safes have room for spare mags, small flashlights, etc? I get that this would likely be more of a visual podcast.
Great input - Hornady Security & SnapSafe feature safes in many different sizes and configurations. To include options with more space for additional items for sure!
Hornady is good at stepping up to the plate and supplying the needs of the shooting community. What we need right now is large rifle primers. Please Hornady build the worlds largest large rifle primer factory 🙏🏽🤣 No seriously… we will give you our money. Omg… when will this end? I am heading out to go purchase LR primers from Bosnia because the continent of North America can’t provide. SMH very sad.
I also started with Pacific equipment, and built some accurate loads. Although I still have that equipment, most has been upgraded to newer Hornady items.
The 17 WSM rim fire are you guys still making it? Do you have any idea when it will be available again and are they coming out with any different grains,other then the 20GR.
That is kind of a funny statement. "a lot of us that live in the western part of the country" I do not think that you can get much more centered in the country than Grand Island Nebraska.
I agree. If you’re just getting started use brand new brass or your own brass that’s been shot one time and is all the same manufacturer. As expensive as components are split, dented, bulged brass isn’t worth my time.
HIT INDICATOR After testing a pack of five out. They are way to sensitive I shoot 6 dasher and 6.5 PRC from 500 to 1300 yards even shooting the dasher at 1300 and hitting the ground up to three feet away from a 4 foot t post with the hit indicator at the top it give false hits every time. I would pay more to see a sensitivity screw on the side.Kind of disappointed. I must say you can see it flash easy...
And how are things moving along in the United States regarding biodegradable shotgun shells. In Denmark where I'm from biodegradable wads and steel shot is getting more and more popular.
As a seven PRC owner I would like to request you upload an unedited video showing the seven PRC being shot in your lab with the radar showing the speeds first I understand most companies over hype the speed of the projectile but there is a massive amount of coverage against the seven PRC currently floating around the Internet showing it being 200 ft./s slower than the box feel free to delete this comment if you wish for it to be hidden I will still shoot my seven PRC and reload for it because I love the cartridge I don’t really care about getting bamboozled by the 3000 ft./s
When the 7mm PRC was first introduced, the velocity specifications were set using several high-performance propellants that were readily available at the time. As most of you are aware, there is a world-wide propellant shortage. As such, we’ve been forced to find alternative propellants. When choosing a substitute powder, we focus on accuracy, consistent ignition, and temperature stability. A new propellant option met our criteria and, more importantly, is available, however it often doesn’t achieve the original velocity specifications. With this reduction in velocity coupled with variation in chambers and barrels, it is possible to see 75-175 fps slower velocity from your rifle, than the velocity printed on the box. This alternative propellant solution does generate the consistency and accuracy we demand. Other substitutes did not meet those requirements; we prioritized accuracy over speed. Hornady has always encouraged shooters to test ammunition from their rifles to obtain accurate velocity data. Due to the powder shortage, everyone in the ammunition manufacturing sector is faced with choosing between loading ammunition slower than originally specified, or simply not loading ammo at all. This temporary powder solution has allowed us to continue to produce and ship ammunition despite the powder availability concerns.
I wish Hornady would stick with ammo and reloading. All the made in China products from an American founded company just disappoint me as an American trying to support other Americans.
So Billy bob at the big box store sees it on the package and says “woah!” And buys it because he doesn’t know any better. All of us know they inflate the FPS, average joe doesn’t though.
