Hornady V-Match Ammunition

The highlight of Hornady’s 2024 ammunition suite is the Hornady’ V-Match Ammunition line, described by Joe Thielen, the assistant director of engineering, as a “dual purpose line of ammo.” Particularly notable is the 22 Arc with a 62-grain ELD-VT, which Thielen enthusiastically endorses. The V-Match line also includes the 6mm ARC and the 6.5 Creedmoor, each tailored with ELD-VT bullets for enhanced efficiency. Furthermore, the 6.5 Grendel with a 100-grain bullet in this lineup addresses the gap in the market for varmint hunting and lightweight bullet options.

Hornady Custom Ammunition

Additionally, the Hornady Custom Ammunition line showcases the 338 Lapua, equipped with a new 240-grain CX bullet, epitomizing power and precision for big game hunting. This bullet, boasting remarkable efficiency and penetration, is specially designed for hunting large, heavy game like moose and bears. The incorporation of a long boattail design significantly enhances its aerodynamics.

In the realm of Hornady Match ammunition, Hornady extends its offerings with the 22 ARC, leveraging an 88-grain ELD match bullet, which promises superior performance, especially for the Precision Rifle Series (PRS) gas gun division. This bullet’s low drag design and high velocity set a new standard in efficiency and accuracy.

The Hornady BLACK line, known for its versatility across various firearms, introduces the 22 ARC with a 75-grain ELD match bullet. This inclusion offers a remarkable balance between velocity and performance. Another intriguing addition to this line is the 300 Blackout with an NTX bullet, catering to those requiring non-traditional, lead-free projectiles. Additionally, the 7.62×39 with a 111 grain Monoflex Flex bullet is tailored for hunters using 7.62×39 chambered rifles, providing premium terminal performance.

In the field of straight-wall cartridges, the 350 Legend, with a new 150-grain interlock bullet, stands out. This bullet-design is a testament to Hornady’s commitment to versatility and cost-effectiveness without sacrificing performance.

For handgun ammunition, Hornady introduces the 5.7×28 cartridge in two variants: a 40-grain Vmax for high performance and a Critical Defense version designed for personal defense. Additionally, the American Gunner line’s expansion into the 10mm segment and the introduction of a 10mm Auto 155 gr XTP American Gunner with a 45 Auto+P 160 gr Monoflex bullet in the Handgun Hunter line demonstrate Hornady’s responsiveness to market demand and evolving consumer needs.

Joe Thielen’s enthusiasm underscores the company’s commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. As an expert in ammunition and reloading, it’s evident that Hornady’s 2024 ammunition lineup not only caters to a diverse range of shooting disciplines but also reflects a deep understanding of shooters’ evolving needs.
