Hornady Big Announcement April 24th

[Tuxedo007]

Those A TIP bullets are a remake of the old silver tip bullets. Nothing new here, Just keep moviing on

I thought they might be Atomic!!!! Guarantee they raised the damn price!!!

 

[Tuxedo007]

Sure as hell hope the cartridge is better than the video because what I saw (and I saw nothing) sure sucked. Wonder if a Millinneal made that commercial??

Is there any doubt...?

 

[Tuxedo007]

I'm absolutely giddy with excitement and anticipation.

Don't believe I'd bet the farm on it!!!

 

[Tuxedo007]

You' re all whistling Dixie . It's a 95 Gr. 20 Cal. made of Tungsten !

Riightt! You can't whistle Dixie anymore, either!!

 

[Tuxedo007]

I like how they are going to package the bullets sequentially....
Yup 1 & 2 were good,3 sucked, yup 4 was good, 5 not so good....
And how much is this gonna cost the shooter?

More than I'm gonna pay!!

 

[Tuxedo007]

For those that haven't watched the video they offer the following:

6mm - 110gr - G1 .604 - G7 .304
6.5mm - 135gr - G1 .637 - G7 .321
6.5mm - 153gr - G1 .704 - G7 .355
30cal - 230gr - G1 .823 - G7 .414
30cal - 250gr - G1 .878 - G7 .442.


How long till dudes are throating FTR guns for the 250s

If they'd tip 'em with titanium, maybe they could get the G1 to 1!! Whoopee!

 

[Tuxedo007]

I'll check my distributors in a few days, see what they want.

I am pretty certain that I'll be checking my distributor for Bullets in Green boxes & yellow boxes. They should have plenty with this NEW offering from Hornady!!!

I was king of hoping that they would bring back the 105 A-max! I'm down to my last 300 and they are (were) the best longgggg range prairie dog bullet out of my 6xc's. Never had a tip melt as far as I could tell either......

Oh sure, they come out with some fancy replacement for $10 more a box!!! That really pisses me off

 

[Tuxedo007]

Their post on facebook had a price of $70-85 per 100

Outa my price range. Could get a couple laser guided bullets from Sandia Labs, that'd get their attention!!!!

 

[IdahoSharpshooter]

Woo-Hoo! Hornady has re-invented the 70 year old Winchester Silvertip bullets...
What will they think of (or read about) next?

 

[simo hayha]

I can't stop laughing

 

[flintcreek6412]

Clearly not looking to attract f-class guys with those calibers and weights. A few 6mm guys might try but that's it IMO.

 

[riflewoman]

The big money is in PRS.

 

[grovey]

This seems like a stupid move in my opinion. I believe the consensus is that the previous line of bullets were better than the current line, and were a 5-7 cents a piece cheaper. Now they more than double the price because they've made there bullets more consistent. That should come at the price point they charge now. 75 cents each is bat sh*t crazy!

Their sales will let them know what the customer thinks of this move. Bean counters run the company. T'would have been interesting to have been a fly on the wall during corporate discussions regarding this.

You apparently don’t have a very good memory of what the Winchester Silvertip looks like.

 

[Riesel]

I'm absolutely giddy with excitement and anticipation.

Well now you can color me Disappointed.

 

[rebel]

Damn, If I was ever gonna design a bullet - you guys killed the idea.
Maybe because us shooters have been sold so much crap as of late.......?

 

[Bc'z]

Ok 4 beers deep.
So a mass bullet manufacturer wants to get into the custom bullet market with a track record of inconsistent weights and bbto measurements for more money than the custom bullets provided by custom bullet manufacturers already....
I'm not buying it, or the bullet

 

[joshb]

I’m never going to pay 75cents for a bullet! Count me out. What are they thinking?
