[QUOTE="Pucker5, post: 3078781, member: 122154"] I'm continually amazed by the emotional attachment to things in a sport/hobby dominated by the demographic most often (self-) associated with critical (non-emotional) thinking. Whether it's cartridge, cleaning, or reloading, we (collective) get very upset when someone calls our baby ugly. To group everything Hornady says into a "sales pitch", because they manufacture things that support our sport/hobby, is at minimum an over-generalization. Seems to me they are putting a lot of effort into this sport/hobby, and whether you choose to buy their products or not, would maybe get some credit for. We should be discerning enough to recognize marketing…and parse it from information. As even mentioned in previous post, it "doesn't make good business sense" to tell people they're wasting components when you SELL components. Hmmm, it can't be both good and bad marketing. Lastly, in this particular case, they're just pointing out what statistics has been telling us for years, but our emotions refuse to hear. [/QUOTE]
