Frontier Cartridge Ammunition

About Frontier Cartridge

Frontier Cartridge has a rich heritage dating back to 1964 when it was first introduced by Hornady Manufacturing as their entry into the ammunition market.

The brand was founded by Joyce Hornady, who started Hornady in 1949 with the vision of providing "accurate, deadly, dependable" bullets that hunters and shooters could afford to reload.

After decades of success, Hornady reintroduced the Frontier line in 2017-2018, banking on the nostalgia and recognition of the original brand.

The modern Frontier Cartridge is manufactured at the historic Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in Missouri, combining Hornady bullets with Lake City brass and military-grade components.

Today, Frontier represents over 50 years of American ammunition heritage, bridging Joyce Hornady's original vision with modern manufacturing capabilities.
