Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles I'm done with Hornady ammo

Voting with your dollars is legitimate. All the suppliers didn't mandate a vaccine or it they did we are unaware of it. If most did and it violates your beliefs a decision on the lesser of 2 evils would have to be made. Sort of like we do on voting most elections.

Voting with your dollars is all fine and dandy, but what does a vaccine have to do with bullet/cartridge performance? I respect your right to do that, but I base my ammunition and projectile selections on performance instead of politics.

But, hey, difference is what makes the world go 'round.

Melting Fhuqking Snowflakes will ALWAYS find something to Whine about. Hint.

None of The Crying Kchunts actually fhuqking shoot,but the Hissy Fits are funnier than fhuqk! Hint………..

All of them with DoD contracts had the same mandate. The mandate wasn’t from Hornady, it was from the Federal government. All companies without a policy were ineligible from being a DoD supplier. Hornady did backtrack and it was never enforced by the Feds.

But guess what? Federal, Remington, Winchester, Speer, and all the rest had the same policy it just so happens a leaked memo never made it public. None of those companies were giving up doing business with Uncle Sugar. Fortunately it was struck down.

No, I have enough supplies to last the rest of my shooting life. I even have a supply of Hornady bullets but, I will never buy another. I don't support those who take away freedom, I fought too hard for it.

Fair enough.

I hear all this moral high ground and wonder how many know P&G also tried to force the jab on employees. So are you going to check your laundry room, toilet paper, coffee, and multipule other items you probably use every day or is it just Hornady?

On the topic of Hornady, I had a young lady at the ranch for a hunt a few weeks ago and after her deer was taken we went for Prairie dog fun.
I had picked up a case of Hornady superperformance .223 53gr v-max to try out so we broke into them.
Out of the first two boxes there were 3 that did not fire. Primers hit deep and solid. For what I paid that’s a bit crazy. We finished from there on with reloads.
There are plenty of other options and manufacturers I won’t buy Hornady again.

Or receive health care, or drive a car, or.....the list is endless. People only virtue signal about Hornady because they think it'll stick.

Hornady has been hit and miss for me. Their 460 ammo had around a 60% firing rate in my smith Wesson xvr. I called them and they blamed it on s&w. My reloads have had no firing failures.

I have had good success with their precision hunter ammo tho.....

I thought CRF was uber reliable. Try it in some push feed guns?

I've shot Hornady factory loads in a variety of rifles that are chambered for a variety of cartridges and haven't had any issues.

I do wish that Hornady would make 17HM2 ammo that was as accurate as the long discontinued Eley, but they don't actual make that ammo, CCI does.

Is there a link or video that explains the fix you guys are referring to? Im not having issues with my hawkeye, but in comparison to my M70 extreme sporter, the grip of the claw extractor seems a bit weaker. Wondering if i can adjust it myself.

I guess snot

That’s been my experience as well. Their Whitetail load is usually the first thing I nab to run in a new rifle.
The stuff worked so well in my 6.5CM that I ran it a couple of seasons before working up a load.

Look for a video on removing the extractor from the bolt body. Then I use a padded vice and clamp the extractor in some soft jaws or something that wont mar up the finish and gently push the extractor in order to put a slight bow into it. I mean slight. A little goes a long way.

Thx, will try that.

I don’t forego Hornady because of jab politics, I just think their stuff is crap.

Hornady brass, bullets, ammo & all their products have always been lower quality, last resort stuff when the good stuff from other manufacturers wasn't available

Just because the sissy, recoil sensitive manbun crowd, swallowed the Hornady choad of creed hype and it became popular, doesn't mean Hornady crap got better

Cheap junk always sells more, Hornady is basically McDonalds in cheeseburgers
