[QUOTE="ndking1126, post: 2406577, member: 26820"] As a casual observer who has never shot them, this has essentially turned into the 6.5 Creedmore arguement. The more popular a product it becomes, the more some people will hate it. They don't have to have a reason and/or they may run with any unproven arguement that supports their point of view. On the other hand, just like some believe the 6.5C will kill elephants at 2.7 miles because of marketing and have essentially zero ballistic understanding, some will insist the hammer is the only bullet worth shooting despite probably a thousand other bullets being successful. It's that blind/ignorant/overly passionate loyalty that drives many people crazy. I'm sure there are some legitimate gripes with Hammer bullets because nothing is perfect, but you're chasing your tail looking for an answer. Stick to your secret sauce that sells and forget the naysayers because you'll never please everyone. Stay out of the arguments and dont fan the flames that keep the arguments going. Once people loose the emotional reaction to your product, they'll quit posting negative things because they won't care. You're better off spending your time researching, improving, partnering, or selling. You've outgrown the phase of your business where you have to gain new customers one at a time by personal interactions on a forum. Accept the idea that people are going to post negative opinions about your product and you don't have to address each and everyone of them. Just like people hating on the 6.5C, most actually hate the overly passionate following. Trying to change their mind by discussing the attributes of the round only makes their disdain worse and it's not even addressing the root problem. You've got bigger, more productive fish to fry.
