RIFLE BULLETS<br />

BULLETS<br />
<strong>Hornady</strong>’s traditional line of bullets includes<br />
all-time favorites in Varmint Bullets, Hunting<br />
Bullets and Full Metal Jacket Bullets.<br />
With the exception of our FMJ and Varmint Bullets, the traditional line of bullets<br />
features exposed lead tips for controlled expansion and hard-hitting terminal<br />
performance. Most have our pioneering secant ogive design – one of the most<br />
ballistically efficient profiles ever developed by <strong>Hornady</strong> engineers (see below).<br />
And, most feature our exclusive InterLock design – a raised ring inside the<br />
jacket that is embedded in the bullet’s core that keeps the core and jacket<br />
locked together during expansion to retain mass and energy.<br />
The round nose and flat point bullets are for use in guns with a tubular magazine,<br />
and their profile helps guard against unwanted discharge in firearms with<br />
tube feed magazines.<br />
Our Full Metal Jacket bullets serve two purposes. The large diameter FMJ-RN<br />
(round nose) bullets are designed for hunting the world’s toughest and most<br />
dangerous game – delivering deep, bone-shattering penetration. The other<br />
FMJ design replicates the bullets used in military “ball” ammunition. They also<br />
are good for hunting animals when minimum pelt damage is important.<br />
Douglas Warner was able to take this<br />
bull elephant on his latest African safari,<br />
shooting our <strong>Hornady</strong> 500 gr. solid with his<br />
Browning Safari FN 458 Winchester Mag.<br />
The elephant carried 51 and 53 pound tusks.<br />

SECANT OGIVE DESIGN<br />

bullets, this technology broke new<br />

ground in ballistic engineering and is<br />
Secant Ogive<br />
now used in bullets for everything from<br />
match to varmint shooting.<br />
The secant ogive is a geometrically<br />
developed design that creates the<br />
most ballistically efficient profile, yet<br />
retains the optimum bearing surface.<br />

<strong>Peter</strong> Langam is still an active hunter<br />
at age 73, and was recently asked by a<br />
landowner to help eliminate a group<br />
of domestic goats that had gone feral.<br />
Shooting a handload of his favorite<br />
<strong>Hornady</strong> 150 gr. RN, <strong>Peter</strong> was able to<br />
The combination of the slender point<br />
drop five goats from 100 to 150 yards.<br />
and increased bearing surface results<br />
in lower drag, increased stability, flatter<br />
trajectories and amazing accuracy.<br />
