[QUOTE="mitch260, post: 1228006, member: 53720"] I can understand how that could have been misunderstood, and I will concede that perhaps better wording could have been used. It was never a personal attack on Hornady or the guys that work for them at all, we've stated this multiple times. In fact, we were pointing out that just because something says radar, doesn't mean that it is more accurate. There is a lot more that has to be done behind the scenes to get from radar velocity decay data to custom drag model. And, this was only brought up to point out that a radar the just measures velocity decay isn't the end all be all after others were attacking our methods of collecting data, which is within 1% of that of radar and is definitely more accurate then most companies can keep their various lots consistent too. It was not part of out original statement. The same could be said for Hornady in that they made it personal when they claimed be the first to do things we have already been doing and are trying to patent something others have already done. Depends on the interpretation. This has already been brought up and debated, but at the end of the day, it is just about the truth. And you are correct in that it will be tested over time to see whether or not it works, but that doesn't mean that there aren't claims that should be addressed. We made the decision to address Hornady on these claims. [/QUOTE]
