Over the years, Hornady has developed some excellent handgun and rifle loads, in popular calibers, that proved to be top performers across a wide range of ballistic pursuits—target shooting, competition and even hunting and self-defense. In common to these loads were the company's time-tested bullets—the renowned XTP for handgun cartridges, and the accurate hollow points and boattail hollow points in the rifle loads. Now, Hornady is bringing such loads together under the American Gunner line of utility ammunition, a line that features proven loads, made from quality components, but now offered at a price that provides a real value to shooters.
