I just got the new catalog and Hornady has been hard at work with some exciting new products.

First and probably most well known is there new line of Match BTHP's including a 6mm 105g with a .530 BC, .030 more than the A-Max counterpart.

They are introducing a new line of match grade Steel ammo in 9mm,40,45,223,30 carbine, and 308win

They are introducing the FTX tip bullets in 44 special 165gr and 45 Colt with a 185gr bullet.

The Leverevolution line get the Monoflex bullets witch amount to gilding metal combined with the FTX bullet tips for states with no lead laws. New cartridges will be 308 Marlin Express with a 140g, 30-30- with the same 140g and a 45-70 with a 250g bullet.

Hornady is also releasing a line of Superformance Match ammo with 223/75g BTHP, 5.56/75g BTHP, 308Win/168 A-Max and the one we already know about the 308 with the 178g BTHP with an advertised BC of .530

Hornady is also releasing a full line of Superformance Varmint. It includes all your favorites with V-max bullets and Superformance Speeds.

Another exciting product will be Superformance for you Shotgun. An example is 00 buckshot at 1600fps from a 12gauge.

Among many other new products one worth mention is a Hydraulic Form Die Kit that is in the Custom Dies section of the Catalog. From the picture is looks like a regular die with a ram on top that would be smacked with a mallet to "fireform" AI cases to the die. This is supposed to get rid of the fire forming process of owning a improved cartridge

To tell you the truth, the most exciting part about the whole deal is we have a company that's on the cutting edge and looking to improve itself every time we turn around. It leaves me waiting to see what they come up with next year.
