    Hornady is making some bold claims?

    Wonder what they have up their sleeve????? The claim "We Change Everything 10/27/15"

    Sounds like they used the same ad agency as Apple and some of the Si Valley companies! Or Euro car companies!

    Teaser. Nothing said.

    They must have a lot of 22lr stockpiled and are getting ready to ship it out. Hooray, unlimited supply for everyone.

    They showed live fire, a Doppler radar and smile after looking at a laptop so I am guessing an ultra super performance line of powders or new base design for an ultra high BC bullet. Time will tell.

    Anti-gravity bullets with zero drop until 2000 yards, whereupon they explode into pixie dust and rainbows.

    Either they are making a rifle or they have developed a new cartridge.

    Maybe they are about to offer factory ammo for the 'Asperly Aimless ?

    I love the line,"this solved a problem that none of us never fully realized existed before"

    Maybe they suddenly realized they could charge much less for gas checks and still make a profit. High priced gas checks might be the "problem" they didn't realize existed and that they had a solution for.


    Nah. Prolly Not It.
    Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.

    Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.

    My guess: Bullet flight characteristics

    What does Hornady do the most and for the longest time?

    Build and sell bullets

    They are not powder makers.

    They have not here to fore built guns.

    The only cartridges they have "made" got some else's name on it .......

    They do build reloading tools but bullets is their mainstay.

    So I'd say it's something in the bullet development area.

    And the "craze" today if you want to call it that ...... is long range .......... hence the hint with the doppler radar in the video.

    (Now watch them put egg on my face ........... LOL!)

    Best regards

    Companies move into diffrent areas related to thier intrests quite often. New thoughts and areas lead to alot. Im betting some new form of "high" performance ammo line or super high bc long range bullet line. Maybe a tungsten cored bullet that is shorter for weight. Or some new form that increases bc accuracy and wind bucking.

    The way it looks they are just trying to build up the hype to have people to buy there things.Just like the zombie ammo.They end up sell more under that then what it could of been call.Just another sales pitch.

    Guessing it's a new Doppler Radar chronograph coming out besides the one being sold in Canada. Maybe it even picks up zombies!
