Hornady
The company was founded by Joyce Hornady in 1949 and is currently run by his son Steve Hornady who took over after his father's death in a plane crash in 1982.
Hornady makes target shooting and hunting rounds as well as high quality self-defense loads. In 1990, the Hornady XTP (which stands for Extreme Terminal Performance) won the industry's Product Award of Merit 1990 from the National Association of Federal Licensed Dealers. More recently the company was notable as the developer of the .17 HMR and .17 HM2 rimfire cartridges, increasingly popular for small game and varmint hunting. Hornady has also worked with firearms maker Sturm, Ruger on the development of the new line of Ruger cartridges including the .480 Ruger, .204 Ruger, and .375 Ruger.
Hornady also manufactures a range of handloading components including cartridge cases, bullets, and shotgun shell components, as well as handloading equipment and data.
As of January 2009, there are also rumors that Hornady may be again offering factory loads of the .300 H&H cartridge[1]
