hey guys Todd Helms out here at the range with you today on this beautiful
Wyoming February afternoon it is an ambient temperature of about 15 16
degrees and we've got about a 15 mile an hour just a slight breeze out here so
you can imagine what the temps are it's cold winter in Wyoming right it is what
it is but the reason we are out here in such harsh conditions this afternoon is
to bring you a review on Hornady's new Outfitter line of ammunition all right
so the reason we are out here in such harsh conditions today to bring you this
review is that Hornady builds this ammunition as just about impervious to
the elements their tagline is from backcountry to the back forty you can
use it for anything from muskox all the way down to whitetails depending on
caliber if you want to obviously it's a great western big-game round but what
makes it so good is that it is literally like I said impervious to the elements
this is a sealed case mouth right here nothing's gonna get in there not water
not grit not even air is gonna get down in there you flip it around and look at
the primer the primer is sealed as well this is a weatherproof cartridge you
could bury these things in the ground for 50 years dig them up and go shoot
something with them I'm just about sure that we don't have that luxury or that
option but I'm gonna send a few downrange here pretty quick
topping this round off is Hornady's GMX all copper bullet it's gonna retain
about 95% of its weight across all calibers and grains and the terminal
performance on those bad boys is wicked we've shot everything from elk to
antelope with them and been very very impressed with the results you see that
shiny nickel case well what that shiny nickel case does is it doesn't corrode
like brass does if you've ever seen brass cases that have been around a long
time they turn green they get a slime on them a green goop on them if you will
you can rub it off but nickeled doesn't do that nickel doesn't corrode
it's going to stay clean it's going to stay protected it also feeds really
reliably in and out of magazines because it's a little slicker than traditional
brass quantity put all of this together to bring you a load that you can
literally punish you can take this on any hunt and it's going to work for you
this ammo it doesn't matter if it gets wet it doesn't matter with temperature
changes it's going to perform every single time you pull the trigger and
that's what Horandy's designed behind the outfitter line of ammunition is all
about so if you guys are ready that's the rundown on it let's see how
it shoots I wish we could you know I'll be out crawling around in the snow but
it's really cold and it's nasty I'm gonna throw a handful of these in the
snow dig them out put them in the rifle and see how they group downrange here we
go it is like I said it's cold one surprised me if this actually they
actually get some water frozen to them so this is the whole point behind this
ammunition guys it is literally impervious to the elements this stuff is
awesome it's designed to take a beating and still get you the buck or the bowl
that you're after alright so let's see if I can find these things there's one
yeah that's what we're after there's another one and there's another one
right there these bad boys let's go shove these in a gun and see how they
shoot I got a target set up out here at 100 yards and we're gonna shoot a group
with these three rounds see how it does let's go show them in a gun everything
on these is wet and it's covered in snow I'm gonna show them in the rifle and
let's send some downrange the other shoe
all right and it's time to put my hearing protection in and we'll send
some downrange here all right fire in the hole
all on paper within an inch of each other the winds blowing hard today
these are not ideal conditions to be shooting groups but this stuff works I
shot a nice one-inch group down there down range and now I'm gonna I want to
try to shoot this on steel I'm gonna walk this out to 300 yards on steel I'm
gonna take it up 300 yards on steel put three downrange and see if I can hit
three in a row like I said the wind's blowing 15 miles an hour I shouldn't
have to do any doping because these are seven mag loads 150 grain gmx they're
humming along Hornady's got these things humming along at about 3 grand probably
a little faster than that are in our elevations out here but let's try to
bang some steel with them we know they work after you put them in the snow so
let's keep going
let's send it that'll work three shots three hits at 300 yards
knocking not bad guys the Hornady Outfitter ammunition is legit stuff it
is nasty nasty nasty cold out here we've got a stiff wind sent sent those bullets
downrange and they hit exactly where they need to hit every single time if
you're looking for a hard-hitting high-performing ammunition that's always
going to go bang no matter what the conditions you need to be looking at the
Horandy Outfitter ammunition it's offered in a wide range of chamberings
and grain weights hey guys well we got you here
