Hornady Manufacturing – Accurate, Deadly, Dependable Since 1949
Founded in 1949 by Joyce Hornady in Grand Island, Nebraska, Hornady Manufacturing has grown from a small bullet shop into one of the world’s largest, independently owned makers of bullets, ammunition, and reloading tools. Built on the promise of producing products that are “accurate, deadly, dependable,” Hornady has become one of the most trusted names among hunters, shooters, and professionals worldwide.
Legacy of Innovation & Precision
Hornady set new standards in bullet design with the secant ogive spire point, the Innergroove bullet (1965), and the InterLock design (1977) — all engineered to deliver superior accuracy, consistency, and terminal performance. Their long-standing philosophy of “ten bullets in the same hole” established a benchmark for quality control that continues today.
Family-Owned, Industry-Leading
After the passing of Joyce Hornady in 1981, the company remained family-owned under Steve Hornady and now Jason Hornady. With decades of continuous growth, Hornady has stayed true to its roots while becoming a global leader in ammunition manufacturing.
Performance on the World Stage
Hornady products are trusted by hunters, competitive shooters, law enforcement, and military units across the globe. Their cutting-edge ballistics labs and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes ensure precision and reliability for every cartridge and tool they produce. From Hornady Ammunition and Hornady Reloading Tools to the Frontier line, the company delivers innovation backed by real-world performance.
More Than Manufacturing
Hornady is also dedicated to community support, philanthropy, and strengthening the shooting sports industry. Their reputation is built on quality, innovation, and a passion for helping shooters achieve success — whether in the field, on the range, or in competition.
Hornady Manufacturing stands as a symbol of American ingenuity and dedication — from one man’s vision in 1949 to a worldwide leader in ammunition and reloading tools today.
