Hornady "are" recalling some lots of their .500 ammo? That is a British-ism. In America we say "is." Hornady is recalling some lots of their .500 ammo. In Britain, I imagine citizens can't even own a firearm that shoots .500.

Does this mean these Hornady rounds might actually meet FBI penetration standards?
