Anyone else notice anything strange in this Hornady photo?

Yes, the Fiberoptic Front Sight Rod is Broken

I hate to say it but it sure looks like one of those new fangled power belts.

I agree with both of those 2 posts
Sure hope Hornady isn't following the CVA power belt route
that massive h.p turns it into a grenade

Yea,the bullet does not sit down in the sabot.Powerbelt copy.

I saw the broken fiber optic sight. I wished I was seeing that it was a 45 caliber bullet

Hornady Eld's are normally good bullets use them in different cals
it's a shame Hornady had to copy the CVA bullet

Many of us have asked for it in 45 caliber, but it hasn’t happened

These bullets are getting fancier and fancier and with it comes pricier and pricier. This is one of the reasons I'm spending a lot of time finding the "perfect" cast bullet for my rifles. I have over 100 lbs of lead and about 30 lb of antimony. I can cast full bore or alloyed bullets for sabots and paper patched bullets.

Wasn't paper patching the original sabot?

Another gimmick to get your money, my ML's kill game dead ! Nutten fancy about a prb or conical, but sure work well. I am not trying to shoot game out long range. I am still the same now as i was when young, i like to get close n personal when i shoot game. Not saying i have not reached out with other rifles at long range & made kills. Its just not the same when game does not know your in the same county-side with them.

Good eye, but OP asked if we noticed anything “strange.”

In my experience, the fiber optic being broken isn’t so much “strange,“ as it is “typical!”

Sad, but true…
