Established in 1941, the nearly 4,000-acre Lake City Army Ammunition Plant (LCAAP) in Independence, Missouri, produces small-caliber ammunition for the military at a rate of around a billion rounds per year.

In 2017, LCAAP approached Hornady Manufacturing with an impressive offer that would combine Lake City’s impressive production capabilities with Hornady’s superb components to produce accurate, affordable AR ammunition for shooters.
“The Lake City Army Ammunition Plant came to Hornady with an opportunity to tap into some of that capacity,” said Hornady Vice President Jason Hornady. “The cool thing about this opportunity is as a bullet manufacturer, we have the opportunity with the Lake City organization to provide military spec cartridges with better bullets. When you have an opportunity like this, you cannot pass it up.”
