you never know

I have been shooting Hornady stuff forever and really never wanted to try anything else. Now to the story...

Did some horse trading, got my first AR15 so I made some loads with Hornady projectiles. 2 shots and I was on paper at 100 yards. Nikon makes a nice scope. Next 5 shots were dead on and in the 1" range. I can live with that, shooting freehand, no bench.

On the way home, walking from my range, I saw a snapping turtle at what I stepped off later to be 153 yards. Farmers hate snapping turtles after stocking ponds for years. Loaded a magazine with some 55gr V-MAX and POP. When you say explosive, boy you aren't kidding! That is exactly what his head did.

Thanks for all the years and great products and from someone who is almost a neighbor. NW Missouri to Grand Island is just up the road a piece. Someday I would like to thank you all in person. Tell everyone in the manufacturing, I appreciate their hard work and efforts!!
