Hornady Suspend List Apparently Hornady is suspending production of around 150 bullets until further notice: http://www.weeniewawa.com/default/Ho...of_bullets.pdf They also released a 2013 Production List: Updated 2013 Hornady Commercial Ammunition and Bullet Production List - Hornady Manufacturing, Inc So if you use any of the bullets on the suspend list, you may want to make sure you have enough for your use.
Seriously, this is the list they are still producing Updated 2013 Hornady Commercial Ammunition and Bullet Production List - Hornady Manufacturing, Inc . It looks to me that this list was mislabeled as the suspend list, either when it was drafted at Hornady (somebody's in trouble) or a competitor started this crap to disparage Hornady or some troll has done a very good job at duping a lot of folks.
Looks legit to me. Look at what they're suspending and what they're still producing - the Zombie Max and other specialty loads are getting cut, while the common stuff - lots of 9mm in 115 gr and .223 in 55 gr for example - remains in production. The letter on page one of the pdf says it all - they're trying to increase production. Increased production = more money, so that makes sense. The time they spend on changeovers in their production machinery, as they put it, is time spent NOT producing anything - which is time spent NOT making money when they could be making money. As far as which products got suspended and which ones didn't, could be (at least partially) a matter of profitability. Business 101, nothing to really worry about...
