Hornady, what's your opinion/support?

[Knight92]

From what I have read I have not seen anything about the tipp clogging problem with the HST's or Ranger T's.

I believe the Ranger T's are bonded which is supposed to increase penetration without clogging, either that or it was just the Ranger bonded

at first I thought it was a Halloween prank - but it's real.

It is a Halloween prank. Yeah, it's real ammo, and it is being sold in those goofy boxes, but come on. Hornady is obviously being totally tongue-in-cheek about this.

Is it really so bad for an ammunition company to have a little bit of a sense of humor about their products? I don't think so.

I wonder why the Golden Sabers suffered this fate but they didn't. Aesthetically they share the same basic properties.

I have yet to get my hands on any CDuty rounds from a retail store...

In my Keltec PF9, I like Horn CDfence. Very accurate, smooth feeding (everything feeds smoothly in that little gem) However, I just tested some Critical Defense rounds in my CM9, for which I have a 6rd and a 7rd mag. Some rounds were impossible to load into the mags, usually as I recall about the third or fourth. When that happened, I would have to remove them all and start over. When firing I experienced a frequent nosedives that were only clearable by removing the mag. I am thinking that the polymer tip is hanging up on the feed ramp and/or in the mag well.

As for Golden Sabers, Rem reportedly makes bonded version but I have yet to find any on sale, only the old non-bonded versions seem to be available. Maybe the retailers are trying to get rid of old stock, or maybe Rem won't supply the bonded stuff (the old "LE only" ploy?) I do load Rem GS in my .357 S&W wheeler as it's a bit milder than many but still packs a punch.

Check out tnoutdoors9 on YouTube. He does lots of testing on all kinds of ammo. Pretty neat videos.

Ranger T-Series are not bonded. The regular Rangers are not bonded. The bonded Rangers are the ones that say, "Ranger Bonded" Bonding has nothing to do with clogging. The advantage of bonded is that the bullet as less of a change of falling apart or pieces of it breaking off. Draw back - The bonding process requires that the bullet be made out of a softer composition than regular non-bonded rounds.

Reading the Hornady site shows that the CDef is optimized for short barreled defense weapons. The CDuty is not optimized for short barrels and will deliver standard recoil.

Here's the page

What you shoot them with isn't as critical as where you shoot them.

Do you see anything amusing about shooting someone in self defense? I doubt that many do? Hornady is demonstrating a warped sense of humor and it reflects on the shooting public.

I just did a search on Amazon, just in books, for "zombie". Got back 9,407 results. Googled "zombie +movie" and there were over 12,000,000 results. Googled "zombie +games" and there were over 15,000,000 results!

Seems to me that Hornady is doing a very good job of choosing a topic that is "hot" right now and trying to take advantage of it to increase sales. I have no problem with that. Perhaps because I realize that zombies don't really exist.

It is interesting to me that so many people are up in arms about Hornady's choice of marketing especially in light of the all to common form of objectifying and ogling scantily dressed women in swimsuits and other suggestive clothing promoting a manufacturers guns.

If you don't like Hornady's ammo based on it's merits, then fine. But to trash it because it promotes killing FICTIONAL characters is bull-she-ite.

Just my $0.02 worth.

Seems that the world has warped sense of humour.

EVERYONE knows that SEX and humor sells. Even better if you can get a bit of both in.
