Hornady Handgun Hunter ammunition features a tough copper-alloy Monoflex bullet designed for deep penetration and 95% weight retention. The proprietary elastomer cavity promotes faster expansion than standard hollow points across a range of velocities.
Hornady Handgun Hunter ammunition represents the company's commitment to delivering performance as demanding as the conditions and game that require it. This is ammunition engineered for hunters and defensive shooters who refuse compromise.
At the heart of Handgun Hunter lies Hornady's Monoflex projectile—a departure from traditional bullet construction. Rather than relying on a jacket-and-core design prone to separation, the Monoflex is manufactured from a tough copper alloy that maintains structural integrity through bone and heavy muscle.
Key Performance Features:
Upon impact, the elastomer material compresses, then pushes outward, forcing the bullet to expand more rapidly than conventional hollow points. This design ensures consistent expansion across a range of velocities—critical when hunting or defending with a handgun where shot placement and terminal performance are everything.
Since 1949, Hornady has built its reputation on precision and reliability. That same philosophy—"ten bullets through one hole"—guides every round of Handgun Hunter ammunition. You're getting the benefit of decades of experience with GMX and Monoflex rifle bullets, now optimized for handgun applications.
This is ammunition for those who understand that backup guns and hunting handguns demand performance you can trust.
