Performance and field applications

Designed for predictable expansion and controlled penetration, HORNADY CUSTOM performs well for field use where intermediate barriers and varying distances are factors. Because the product line spans multiple calibers (model: Various), you can choose a loading that matches your ballistic requirements—whether you prioritize flat trajectory for longer-range engagements or heavier sectional density for deep penetration on large game.

Terminal behavior and reliability

Hornady’s engineering focuses on repeatable expansion without excessive fragmentation, which preserves mass and drives penetration. That balance is valuable for both hunters pursuing medium and large-sized game and tactical users who require dependable stopping performance under stress.
