[QUOTE="Bullseye, post: 1530170, member: 3351"] Creating a new product and wanting to sell it = whoring-out. Got it... 6.5 CM is reinvention of the 260 - not hardly. If the 260 didn't have a 1:9" twist, had better throat design and more room to set out long, heavy bullets the Creedmoor wouldn't have needed to be designed. 6.5 PRC is a reinvention of a wildcat called the 6.5 SAUM. Nope. Hornady already made the 6.5 SAUM cases for GA Precision. Could have simply done ammo and standardized with SAAMI but wanted the cartridge to be more commercially viable. The rebated rims are a pain to make and not as easy to get to feed in a wide variety of rifles. Absolutely common knowledge and not hidden at all. 300 PRC - yeah, Hornady first necked the 375 Ruger down right after creating the actual 375 Ruger. It lived as a wildcat for years but when the DoD was looking at something better than the 300 Norma Mag for +2k engagements, Hornady went further in to development on it. Then launched it commercially. Are you really mad they didn't call it the 30-375 Ruger? It's also been known as the 300 Boo boo and 300 HSM over the years. Had to settle on something. You don't like factory ammo - no problem. I'm not going to change your mind. I don't care. I do care about posts that blatantly claim marketing hype and how factories "whore-out" by creating new products and wanting sales. Not enough to keep posting in this thread though. [/QUOTE]
