First day of 2018 and most of the bullets on that list have moved from temporarily suspended to discontinued. Yet, they are putting out all sorts of new fangled offerings catering to the TactiCOOL crowd.

Since this came out in 2013, I have moved all of my pet loads to use Sierra or Nosler bullets.

I will never buy another Hornady offering as long as I live. And I have encouraged many others to share my sentiment. I will turn as many people as I can away from Hornady’s unreliable product line.

In trying to keep up with the newest fads, they have completely deserted their loyal customers of years by discontinuing most all of their cup and core offerings.

As of this it is December 31, 2014 this was a year ago and still no bullets? I remember the goverment saying that taxes were only temporary to pay for World War 1, how temporary is temporary?
And as far as the hoarding goes I have a question, how do you hoaed what you cant get??

I am, well upset with Hornady as a user since 1983. Just about all of the bullets I use they dont make anymore, well nuts. Purchased a M-1 carbine in 2012, 30 cal 100gr sj work great! But now I guess I’ll go back to Speer or Sierra. All you say is current demand? Well enjoy it while you can! Also used a ton of your 22 cal. 40 gr v-max with moly for varmits and you stopped producing that product too. So long Hornady, Hello Speer and Sierra want my hard earned money?

The Department of Homeland Security has a budget of $39.2 billion for the year 2013, not the military,,just Homeland Security, to protect us from us,and why,,they say to practice. There is where all of the components are going, not the hunters, shooters, and personal protection. I’m sure if the truth be known, Hornady has a contract. I am able to buy some 30 cal and some 22 cal on a limited basis yet enough to hunt.I’m thankful for that,,and yes the price will continue to go out the roof…

What we need is a new list. A list of generally translatable projectiles.

I’m sure it won’t be perfect but hopefully it will give us a few clues as to what we can swap out for the Hornady stuff that may or may not come back into production.

It’s frustrating because after months of refinement I was finally able to dial in the 60 grain VMAX only to have it no longer available.

People tell me that Nosler 60 grain Ballistic Tips are generally interchangeable, but I haven’t found any of that around yet.

I spent 8 months looking for Sierra Match Kings and finally found some of that but it’s still hit and miss.

If any of you know of such a list or want to create one, I for one would be greatly appreciative. As a new comer to the art of handloading/reloading, every little tip helps.

What I find interesting, is that the price of commodities like copper zink, and lead, has dropped ….HUGE ! but the price of bullets, brass, and primers has gone through the roof.

Kelvin Hinton,

That is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. When properly stored, ammo will last a LONG time. As in many decades.

You know, what’s funny about all these people hoarding up ammunition, is that it is on,y good for so long. After a shell has sit around so long, it will not fire. I have seen it happen many times. There is no point in hoarding up ammo that after you have had it a few years, will not fire when you need it most.

It never ceses to amaze me on the ignorance of the human race.If you guys wanted ammo,you would have had it before the shortage,now that you can’t get it,you want it! Well, you can’t have it,period.If you think your going to vote the anti’s out your nuts.Here’s whats happening.The U.S. Gov’t is spending millons on underground bunkers,storing diesel fuel,lubricants,and millions of rounds of ammunition.Why?I don’t know,unless America’s lein holder is threatening to foreclose,and you know who that is!Enough said!!
