Wow, just wow! I started reloading in 1972 using there equipment and still have two of there old single stage reloading presses and still going strong. What a great company! I like everything they make lol.
Did Hornady Rehire anyone it fired over Vaccinations? Back pay? That was the wrong position.
Can really see the pride in this company.👍👍👍
WAAY COOL . Hornady is about the most welcoming firearm related company I've seen . Great all around . :)
Great video. I'm a reloader, Hornady are the only projectiles I use. Have tried other top tier brands but always come back and now stay with Hornady.
Thank you so much for filming tour of a great bullet and cartridge factory. The expansion is so impressive. You can pay that woman enough money 💰 for what she does seeing the imperfection in each batch. My hat is off for her. What a great
Insde look at building all forms of ammo and reloading equipment 😊😊😊
The nicest thing is the hands on firearms testing of batches of ammo. I understand the machine tests, but you can't beat old school test FIRING 😊😊😊😊
Awesome video guys! Thanks for taking us along for the tour. It was cool see where all my dies were born.
There was so much more that just wouldn't fit in the film too
They need to make primers!!
I find that Hornady ELDM projectiles are by far the most accurate for long range shooting.
I would strongly disagree.
I find it funny how Joyce Hornady and Vernon Speer were business partners before Vernon Speer went to Idaho and established Speer bullets. I had a very old bullet box that had both names on it. You sure dont hear mention of that historic trivia. Two of the biggest bullet makers sharing some common history.
I don't hear much of Speer these days
@@chrisparkin431 Speer the man or Speer the bullet? They (bullets) always seemed to be better distributed in the western states back when I started reloading. That was over 40 years ago. Don't know why you wouldn't have heard much regarding Speer recently. The bullets are out there and have been a real bargain lately. Cheaper in my experience than Hornady, Sierra, and Nosler in recent years.
@@johnnorman7708 Owned by a Turkish corporation currently
Yep, Speer is a good bullet . I think I have some . :) @@johnnorman7708
SpeerDot ?
As a reloader for years I really enjoyed this video. Thanks !! God Bless America !!
Great to inside the Hornady factory 🏭 where my bullets are made. I've used them sense 1974 when I started reloading____soon to be 50 years. 🇺🇲👍🇺🇲
Ment to say "great to see inside". Thanks
You don’t realize how much they make to you see it all together like that. One thing I’d like to know is why no 22lr ?
22lr, which is also known as 'the king of all cartridges'😊, is a whole another creature, completely different from center-fire loading. All segments of 22lr market is covered very well by others, from ultra cheap plinking to Olympic target shooting needs, so they probably don't see an opening to make the dedication necessary to load 22lr
I don’t think the profit margin is big enough. CCI really owns that market and the primer market. Hornady does offer 22mag and 17hmr at least.
What a fantastic experience that must be, would be in my element there
There was a lot that can't be shown too!
I gathered that listening to the video. It was brilliant seeing it all, that lass doing the inspection was brilliant, that's what you call Quality Control
Yep, I was thoroughly impressed . :) @@joeeverett8390
It's nice to see where my everyday carry ammo was manufactured.
Yeah I live in Nebraska and I don't see any Hornady hardly on our shelves on our FFL dealers stores.
That's pathetic.
I searched online. And it sure isn't hell for Hornady.
When you live in Nebraska I can't find Hornady ammunition or products where the company is based out of. That's pathetic
I see more Federal and nosler than Hornady
I love the standard of making every round "look like jewelry".
I was there in 2014 and loved it totally awesome place and company
shame the prices are so insane on their stuff and their carry ammo isn't even nickel plated...not to mention what they did in 2020 with the coof
Freedom tools 👍👍✌
A little hint on sound when you are muffed and mic'ed up...throw a cheap lavalier microphone in the earmuff. Works great.
Just heard the ammo plant had a explosion? It was in the priming compound mixing area...
They stock pile till price is good . They are all out to make money
Don’t like it? Don’t support it.
Loved the tour. Never was a fan of Hornady. More of a Speer & Sierra guy. 🤠
Keep up the GOOD WORK; you make great ammo!
I reload, and Hornady has always been my go-to ammo. I choose it before any other brand, every time.
I grew up just south of Grand Island in Hastings. I've always wanted to see this. Understandably we can't now, but I would love for my 8 year old son to experience it. He would love to have one of those Hornady boards with the bullet process, he would cherish that on his wall for a Christmas present.
Great tour! Very interesting! Hornady is really an innovative company. Great videos, thanks for the show. 😊
Hornady make good bullets....not excellent but appropriate for their price point. My main complaint is their range of bullets for the 7.62X54R, 7.65X53mm Arg. or Belgium, 7.7 Japanese and .303 British. Their bullets are nominally listed as either .312" or .311" but generally run a thou to a thou and a half smaller with a subsequent reduction in accuracy. I stick to SMKs or LeHigh for those calibers.
I reload hundreds of XTP bullets in different pistol calibers. What a huge operation !
Its funny how they don’t think explosions don’t happen because they just had an explosion 😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for showing. I switched to Hornandy during COVID, and havn't regretted it since. I liked seeing the section on the 6.5 143 Performance round example, that's what I use.
Funny, A ammo company does not allow carrying a firearm into the building.
Wow, this was impressive...
Mr Ruger just gave the 👇 lower 👇 number 🔫 guns to more important people in his life!!!! It's that simple to figure out. ❤😮😮😮😊
Why the SPECIFIC number
and this is why I always get Hornady and will always tell people... go with Hornady and you wont go wrong!
That was great! Thanks fore time! I'll probably wach it again !
Hopefully they didn't sell out to the foreigners
Love the Critical Defense and Duty Ammo!!😊
Fascinating ! Thanks for sharing. 😎🇨🇦
Good to see MOOSE in the warehouse shots.
It speaks volumes about the workplace and people there when you can have dogs at work.
Nebraska baby 🤟
Hoping they will supply American 🇺🇸 people and not sale out
Primers ??? How about helping us reloader out
Brilliant video
The face of the guy walking in @6.27 mark😂😂😂
Why don't you build primers their two. We haven't been able to buy reloading components hear in Canada for 3 or 4 years.
The statements at 6:57 didn't age well
I live 70 miles away…on my bucket list!
Please don't sell out to any of the big money foreign entities
I'm 2A... hunting for food ok and hunting for trophies not ok....
I have a large gun safe and I have a lot of Hornady ammunition and I can tell you first hand, Hornady makes great ammunition and I have it in multiple calibers. Moose was looking for someone to pet him. Enjoyed the tour.
You see where all the high price shells are going too. I guess people don’t see it
I have to say, in my experience, Hornady bullets shoot particularly well in Ruger barrels...
I thought one mounted Rhino head would be enough.
I’ve got to say Hornady ammo is the best ammo I’ve ever shot
That is very cool
Not exactly an episode of how it’s made
If Hornady produces 7 million rounds per day, why is there an ammo shortage?
Is Hornady stockpiling ammo like the other manufacturers to drive prices up?
Possibly that there are two international conflicts going on and there are more shooters today than there ever have been .
Wouldn't surprise me one bit if they are.
So they updated their equipment and paid pennies on the dollar for it which increased production numbers and cut manufacturing cost but increase prices for the customer.
Extremely interesting insight 👍
Thank-you Chris
Is Hornaday one of the Ammo companys that I hear got sold to a " Foreign" Entity? Will their production focus on The Civilian, Sporting Market???
No that was Federal, CCi, and others. I have not heard of Hornady on the list. Jarred, from Guns&Gadgets did a video on this subject.
Thank you Chris! Awesome video!
the production area is way to loud....i wonder there are no noise cancelling measurements like boxed mashines, and noisekilling walls...must be hard to WANT to work there
I reload and with my own experience I find Hornady bullets are the best 👍
Modern manufacturing is absolutely bonkers
I'd like to see 6ARC brass for us poor mortals who picked up the cartage but can't find any brass for it.
Ahhh .. His Grandfather knew how the money changers operate! He was wise to their methods of taking over businesses, so he diversified the company into multiple entities. There’s an invaluable book that was written in 1890 called “Great Red Dragon - London Money Power” that should be required reading for every high school student in the World. Hornady was no doubt aware of Henry Ford’s stark words as well, relating to the unscrupulous parasites. People in modern times have long since been lulled to sleep, and Ford’s words have unfortunately been forgotten. Read the book! It’s something that will change your views of our current culture forever.
Didn’t this factory just explode and kill a lady?
Great Stuff Luv it 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
I’d never thought about the counter-cyclical aspects of ammunition and component manufacturing. Being able to buy CNC machines for 10 cents on the dollar or hire 35 qualified people all at once certainly makes expansion less expensive. However, you need the quality control and training systems in place to take advantage of those opportunities. Most of all, you need the corporate culture to sustain quality and innovation.
Now would you *please* start making 8.6 Blackout brass?
Sorry about your brass! They can make a million rounds a day however it will only be in 6.5 Creedmoor I'm still waiting on 375 ruger brass and that was a hornady designed cartridge
Couldn’t find 1 box of Hornady at Bass Pro shop ??
I wonder if they forced the visitors to be vaccinated like they wanted to the employees.
Someone always has sore ass
They are expanding for government contracts. All firearms and ammo manufacturers already in the know about what is coming, namely complete civilian disarming in United States. Especially with the introduction of digital money (some call it CBDC), it will be over.
All companies are making moves accordingly, selling, merging, expanding for government contracts, trying to make a quick profit from ever expanding 'gun laws' till the end comes, or just getting out completely or just making plans to become a zombie company, making profits for executives via financial engineering.
I agree @michaeldoe4805
That's messed up, just like Carhartt. I'll never buy Carhartt again
This has to be one of the worst company visit videos I’ve seen. Nothing planned. Camera work is horrendous. Stopped after 13 minutes in.
Very interesting as I'm a reloader. My little bedroom operation sure doesn't compare to Hornady's. I always thought melted lead was poured into the copper jacket. Interesting that it is solid lead that is pressed in. I still would like to know how they get lead inside of a full encasement jacket.
That melted lead core idea was Vernon Speer's Hot Cor bullet. Probably part of the reason he and Joyce Hornady dissolved the partnership and Speer went to Idaho to start Speer bullets. Bullets do have several variations in design and more than a few methods of manufacturing.
norma buys pre drawn wire. and Hornady makes there wire hmm interesting
Dad was smart if anything happens at any of the buildings it doesn't effect the others, you only have down time in that area!
Didnt the hornady plant burn down?
when was that?
So my question is how many primers they had on hand after their “primer factor” blew up and killed a woman and OSHA has said imaginary factory shut down for six months while they investigate
That was an alligator, not a crocodile.
It is a guarantee that the painting done there is NOT California compliant paint.
Is anything California compliant?
Bullet Very Spend, Very Spend, Is Good Product
Better than gold IF shit happens
I enjoyed this.
Tremendous!!!
Blew my mind!!
Was that an explosive comment?
I will never buy another round of Hornady ammo. They showed their true colors during pandemic. The fact they tried to force their employees to put something into their bodies that the employees did not want was appalling. If Hornady thinks we have forgotten this fact, they better think again.
They never forced them. It was, if you are not vaccinated, you must wear a mask.
Besides.....we want damn primers and powder, not crap.
Talk to a respiratory therapist who worked the first round of covid and then say that.
@@alexreifschneider4332 we did. And we still say no.
@@alexreifschneider4332plandemic
I thought this place burned down or was sold to someone in Checoslavakia
Would love to see Hornady develop the lever evolution in the 44-40 caliber for the lever guns.
LIKE HORNADY - NO 1. IN THE WORLD
THE CREEPS MAKE ONLY ONE DAMNED BULLET FOR EVERYTHING XTP! WHAT A FRIGGIN' JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#53 represents the slot in production that was not owned by someone else prior to #53.People buy the right to own or purchase every new xxx number slotted gun for production.
I'm sure that means something to you, the rest of us will be left guessing.
I'm more inclined to think it's to do with some mutual event in 1953.
I'm surprised Hornady doesn't offer retail primers. Do they make their own primers for their ammunition?
It wasn't discussed. Ammunition makers generally use primers from many sources to tailor performance
@@chrisparkin431 FYI Hornady had a fatal explosion in their primer facility near Grand Island NEB. As I understand from Neb state inspectors it happened during chemical mixing. I didn't know they were doing primers or maybe just starting....no idea and I'm not starting any rumors. I live not very far away so Hornady is like local folks.
@@chrisparkin431why didn’t you ask ??!
the big guys make their own primers.@@chrisparkin431
"drooling"
$50 to $60 for mp7…wow…
Lots of questions but why is the standard MOA rather than say 1/4 MOA? There will be many people looking at that video knowing they could manufacture to a higher quality. A lot of the equipment and processes should be resigned to history.
One day...
👍🎖
All I can say is that I didn’t realize how poor I was until I watched this video.
No wonder their ammo is so over priced they have a *king mp7
So I guess Ruger Arms will be my next video !
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
