Frequently Asked Questions
Hornady 5.7x28 Ammo for Sale
What is special about Hornady black ammo?
Hornady BLACK ammunition is specifically tuned for maximum reliability in modern sporting rifles and semi-automatic platforms, though it also works well in bolt-action setups. It uses purpose-selected Hornady bullets optimized for consistent performance in each caliber, making it versatile for range, hunting, and defensive use at a moderate price point.
What's the difference between Hornady Black and Custom?
Hornady BLACK is optimized for AR-platform and semi-automatic rifles, with loads tailored for reliable feeding and performance in those actions — and it works for hunting applications like whitetail. Custom focuses on specialized hunting with expanding bullets. Both lines serve hunters, but BLACK is built around semi-auto platform performance.
Where is Hornady black ammo made?
Hornady BLACK ammunition is made in Grand Island, Nebraska, where Hornady Manufacturing is headquartered and produces its full line of ammunition and reloading components.
Can 5.7 x28 be reloaded?
Yes, 5.7x28 can be reloaded. Cases have a lubricated coating to facilitate feeding and are extremely thin, making them prone to neck splitting after limited reloads. Use once-fired brass of known origin and follow established load data carefully. It's more demanding than standard cartridges but many reloaders do it successfully.
Who makes the best 5.7 x28 ammo?
"Best" depends on your use case. Federal American Eagle is popular for range work. Speer Gold Dot and FN Polymer Tip are strong defensive choices. Fiocchi offers good value. Compare options based on whether you need defense, hunting, or target ammunition.
What do blue tip 5.7 bullets do?
Blue-tip 5.7x28mm rounds use a polymer tip to improve ballistic consistency and promote rapid expansion upon impact. The blue color identifies the specific load variant. Their enhanced accuracy, reduced recoil, and reliable expansion make them suited for defensive and hunting use.
