Hornady 2022

[Ucsdryder]

Their new mono bullet looks interesting. The comments even more so! Apparently Hornady dropped their mandate but then put a reward out to turn in the employee that leaked the mandate! Talk about playing with fire!!!!!

? so what is new about this....already bullets on the market that have tips that take heat better and the groove on mono bullets has been done for years....

Highest BC of any mono bullet is a big deal. The wheel has been invented, doesn’t mean there isn’t room to make it better.

Are they still trying to enforce their vax mandate? No thanks if so.

No they lifted it and put a reward out to anybody that turns in the employee that leaked the mandate.

I haven't looked at this bullet, but with their large size I'd hope they'd innovate the alloy to make monos a little cheaper to shoot. I have no idea what could be done there... Maybe nothing. Someone would probably have done it already if it was feasible.

Aren't the E-tip higher B.C. at the same grain weight...Same with the Federal Trophy Copper (E-tip with grooves in shank)?

Pretty hard when the cost of raw materials skyrockets...

E tips can be difficult to get to shoot accurately though.

no one wants to fight expensive monos during load development.

I’m not sure. Just repeating what the video said. All that being said, the BC is still really low so to your point, it’s not like they came out with a lead replacement using copper alloy.

Hornady is advertising a .469 G1 on 180gr .308.
Federal Trophy Copper .523 G1 on 180gr .308.

Now they do have a 190gr which isn't offered in a mono by other major manufacturers which technically would have the highest B.C.

I agree with your lead replacement comment and also more power to Hornady for bringing a mainstream Mono to the market.

What does that mean?

If mandates are so good and necessary, why the hit? It's almost like they're trying to hide something...

I get they had a mandate and retracted it after (well-deserved IMO) public outcry.
Are they going after the employee who leaked the mandate to punish him?

Why else would you put out a reward to find out who leaked it? I doubt its to give them a raise.

What the point of introducing new product if you can produce enough of the products you already produce????

 

[dieselchessy]

Would have to be a pretty high BC mono to beat out the current offerings by Hammer, Cutting Edge, Badlands, ect…
But if it shot well, performed on game, was reasonably high BC, and was meaningfully less than 1$ per bullet I might be interested.

I sincerely hope people boycott Hornady over this.

More of that sweet, sweet ELDM for me!
