Performance and build quality

HORNADY CUSTOM is built around Hornady’s proven bullet designs and careful assembly. The hand inspection step reduces the chance of outliers and contributes to consistent muzzle velocities and point-of-impact repeatability. That handloaded-feel in a factory round means tighter group potential from a well-tuned rifle without the variability of mass-production loads.

Terminal behavior and applications

The product description highlights a balance of expansion and penetration — a critical trait when selecting ammunition for responsible defensive use or ethical hunting of medium and large game. Because the rounds are tailored for that balance, they provide controlled energy transfer and reliable penetration, reducing the likelihood of over-penetration in populated environments while still delivering effective stopping power in the field.

Hornady’s reputation as a brand and the availability of these loads in various models make HORNADY CUSTOM a notable option for shooters who want a factory round that approaches the quality of careful handloads. Price is listed at $42.99, making it a competitive choice for those buying quality factory ammunition. View product details and pricing
