[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 3022253, member: 113623"] Hornady gets a lot of flack on here, but they innovate cartridges and then support them with loaded ammunition and components. I feel like that is where a lot of other companies fall flat, they perhaps have a good idea but don't go all the way with marketing etc. Its just all the other cartridges that Hornady does not commit to, which I do understand from a sales perspective. Again, as someone who doesn't reload and has a lead free requirement in California, Hornady has pretty much been my go to because they are more affordable and more available than Barnes equivalents. When they reintroduced the Outfitter line with CX bullets (around 3/2022) I bought quite a few boxes of 300WSM to get started, expecting it to be readily available and just haven't seen it online since. Now that stock is getting low and I am debating holding out or just re-barreling that action. I usually buy hunting ammo from Roger's and they don't even have a category for 300WSM on their website anymore. Agreed, I was hoping the expansion of medium actions would offer some kind of a renaissance for these short magnums but it doesn't seem to have been enough. [/QUOTE]
