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.

I've never heard of Hornaday bullets.

If Rick would only start a forum for investment discussions...

^^^^^^^^^^

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!

How about Hornady?
Posted By: dale06 Re: Hornaday - 03/28/23
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.

Hornady......land of melting bullet tips and an owner who is a covtard.

I thought Hornaday was a NASCAR driver?

About the only option on the shelves around here.

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.

They’re very popular with people who shoot Barettas

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?
