Hornady Philosophy

“Ten bullets through one hole” is the philosophy that brought Hornady Manufacturing from a two-man operation in 1949, to a world-leading innovator of bullet, ammunition, reloading tool and accessory design and manufacture today. At Hornady, ammunition is more than their livelihood. Therefore, it’s a major part of their daily life. Above all, Hornady acquired SnapSafe in 2015 to complement and expand their offerings in the security products market segment.
