Grand Island, NE — Team Hornady® congratulates sponsored shooter Dillen Easley for his performance at the 2024 Generation III Gun Championship, September 6-8, 2024, in Iberia, Missouri.

Easley used Hornady 223 Remington 73 gr. ELD® Match ammunition in his rifle and Hornady 9mm 125 gr. HAP® bullets loaded in his 9mm pistol to win the TacMod Division.

“This was a rifleman’s match with small and dynamic targets.” said Easley. “The 73 gr. ELD Match bullets gave me the edge on the rifle spinner target and the rifle plate rack, and ultimately put me at the top of the division,” he added.

Carefully selected components ensure uniformity and are loaded to exacting specifications to provide pinpoint accuracy. Each cartridge is loaded with either Hornady® A-MAX® bullets, our high-performance boattail hollow points, or the new, radically superior ELD® Match bullets. Stringent quality control ensures proper bullet seating, consistent charges and pressures, optimal velocity, consistent overall length and repeatable accuracy.

Modeled after the legendary XTP® bullet design, HAP bullets are further refined into the perfect competition projectile. While XTP bullets use serrations to aid in controlled expansion and terminal performance, HAP bullets feature a sleek and balanced projectile with a protected nose that aids in consistent and reliable feeding in auto loading pistols.
