[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1530142, member: 12995"] I get the appeal that Hornady is going for, and it's very smart. But coming from someone who thinks all factory ammo sucks, all factory bullet selections are terrible, all factory ammo is lacking in performance, and doesn't use any (other than rimfires) for any of his guns, I think there is better out there, and I see the reality of what Hornady is doing. They're trying to come up with something fancy and new that they can whore-out for hundreds of millions of dollars. The fact is, they're just reinventing the wheel. The 6.5CM was a reinvention of the .260 Remington. The 6.5 PRC was a reinvention of a wildcat, called the 6.5 SAUM. The .300 PRC was a reinvention of a wildcat called the .30-375 Ruger. They're just turning wildcats into SAAMI spec cartridges, but giving them fancy names so folks won't realize what they are doing. At least Nosler had the balls to call it what it was... The .280 Ackley Improved. Same thing it's always been called. [/QUOTE]
