It appears , Hornady offers plenty of selection in bullets, and they seem to be very economical?
Why?

Is this a company one should invest in?

Thanks.

Why not? At least at this time in this economy, they aren’t capable of meeting the demand, so that would bode well for a good investment strategy…

I had a position in the company that owns Federal. ( Vista outdoors)

No dividend and they kept missing their numbers.

Finally the CEO was fired..

I sold the position.

It just seems to me Hornady is innovative, and certainly economically competitive.

I don't think Hornady is publicly traded. Call Steve, maybe he will make you a deal.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Agreed

One of my best positions is ET…….

Heard about it here on the fire!

I wanted to buy Ruger……some one said buy ET instead…..

He was right so far!

I’ve Perry much converted to Hornady, cause they seem to be the only bullet manufacturer that can produce to meet demand. I see lots of their varmint bullets in several stores. Sierra, do they still make bullets? Ditto nosler.

Not sure why but I hear a lot of folks mispronounce it as "Hornaday"

I just been cleaning my gun reloading cabinets….I was offered over .60 cents each for my non wanted bullets.

35 caliber 200 grain FTX were under $40 for 100.

Even seen on Terminal ballistic research they are annealing SST and Interlocks.

I also think the reloading dies are innovative…..and their scales and cartridge prep equipment are very competitive in price point. IMO

It's a private company, there's no public stock to invest in.

Cheap bullets or chunk rocks?

I'll take the cheap bullets.

I got into reloading in the early 70's.
At that time, Sierra was the "cat's meow" with 101 bullets in every box.
If you were a paper puncher, Hornady was cheap and regarded as not a particularly good hunting bullet.
Speer was just coming on the scene and was the preferred handgun projectile.
Bullets ran less than $5/hundred.
Primers were ninety nine cents per hundred. Winchester and Remington were about the only options.
Powder was about $4/# and any reloader that didn't have several pounds of various makes and blends on his bench wasn't much of a reloader! LOL!
Unfired brass was nonexistent unless you went to the local public shooting range. NOBODY picked up spent brass!
Where I grew up in east Texas, that's about all that was available on the local market.

Them wuz th' good 'ol daze! 😉👍

Said something to my dad once about the "good ol days".
He laughed and said, "The best part about the good ol days is they won't be back."

@222sako

That's right, but I was always able to afford ammo and reloading supplies.
I get MUCH more money now and I can go to a store, but I can't always find the ammo I want, the powder I want, the primers I want, the bullets I want, etc, etc, etc.......

Seems I remember Hornady made their employees get the 19 jab! True or false?
