[QUOTE="FireFlyFishing, post: 3082565, member: 127412"] I have an example of the Hornady marketing machine that has duped the consumer. Create a new cartridge (.375 Ruger) pump it up as the conquerer of the ever so popular .375 H&H. Come out with new cartridges based on that .375 Ruger case and bone all the folks that bought into the .375 Ruger. No brass to be found. Their bottom line wins over the consumer here. This makes me extremely hesitant to buy into Hornady’s new cartridge line up although they can be enticing at times from the massive amount of marketing they employ. I know, I know…I’m going to hear several that say the CMs and PRCs are here to stay. Perhaps. Only time will tell. From the model I’ve seen from Hornady, they’ll create more cartridges to out do the last they invented/produced. This is now their business model…as it has worked for them! If I really wanted to jump into the 6.5 mm world, why would I pick the 6.5 CM over the 6.5 PRC? Already, they have made a cartridge that is far better on the performance side than the holier than thou 6.5CM. Tying this back into the OP’s thread… I find it interesting that the tighter cartridge tolerances Hornady was able to approve through SAAMI is a good thing. Supposedly cartridges that shoot factory ammo much better and easier to reload and load develop. If that’s the case, why do I need 30 shot groups?!?!?! So for me, I’ve been sitting back watching and listening to the Hornady spectacle. I don’t hate their company or even their take on innovation. I have found I still fill my freezers with my older .30 cals and .375 H&H, not using Hornady bullets. And I don’t shoot 30 round groups. According to Hornady…I must be a statistical outlier.
