First YouTube nails it- This video looks like a April Fools joke
Well, Hornady is a marketing company; they find an angle and market the heck out of it.
I have tried their bullets multiple times, in a number of calibres, and none have shot as well as other bullets such as Sierra and Barns
Hope this works for them, they need to do something; maybe playing with plastic tips are like putting lipstick on a sow.
Only Hornady bullets I've struggled to get to shoot well was the Interbond, now discontinued. Vmax, Amax, Interlock, SST, ELDx, ELDm, ATIP, ELDvT all have proven to shoot very well in calibers from 17 on up

Maybe if a guy carefully touches the bullet tips to a belt sander he can also get “drag variability reduction technology”
Joking of course.
Joking of course.
What a bunch of nonsense. I read through the patent and their marketing stuff surrounding this. It’s hardly a new “technology”, or even a technology at all. It’s just a ratio that works best for their bullet design. A rule of thumb at best. People have been studying this stuff and applying these techniques since at least the 40’s for supersonic objects. Schlieren photography has been around even longer. Most artillery shells have a flat tip like this too, hardly new. I’m not sure what’s more surprising here: Hornady revealing it took them until 2018 to use known techniques I would’ve assumed to be standard stuff for a ballistician, or the fact they were able to patent something which is so clearly not novel. I’m hardly a Hornady fanboy or hater really but I get why people can’t stand these guys sometimes.
