For 2017, Hornady is offering a new line of ammunition. Unlike most lines from various ammo manufacturers, the company�s new Black line is not bullet-specific. Instead, it might be best described as platform-specific. This means instead of all of the loads in the line utilizing the same type projectile, each is optimally tailored to the most-common platform the ammo is likely to be fired from. In other words, Hornady�s Black ammunition is made up of loads ideally adapted�for common practical use�to the guns for which they�re intended. The 5.56 NATO SBR Black load is a perfect example.
