.... shipment of Hornady goodies just came in the mail I have this very important question for ya'll:

WHY the :cuss: DOES HORNADY INCLUDE THAT LITTLE 1" SQUARE PIECE OF CARDBOARD in all their stuff? From dies to wrenches... every 'carton', no matter what the size or shape seems to come with a curious little bonus prize of cardboard. I see no possible explanation! Is it to absorb tooling oil? It certainly doesn't act as a 'spacer' or 'protector'... they just float around. And no, I don't have too much time on my hands :confused:

Sometimes its those little things that get me goin ha ha ha ha.

Was gonna phone Hornady, but wanted to hear your thoughts.
 
It is probably the same purpose that RCBS places a cardboard disk in their die-boxes...

moisture absorbing

Ah, that's dull. I was hopin for some deep dark secret...
I didn't know cardboard was much of a dessicant.
Anybody got an explanation with some alien folklore? I'm kidding.
Thanks.
 
Jubo...Don't eat it....:D

I buy Mountain House dehydrated foods for many of my long horse trips into the mountains and they place a packet of dehumidifier in each envelope. Some people (granola crunchers mostly) have mistaken it for seasoning and mixed it with their food. It says on the packet in big letters "DON'T EAT"...But.....:evil:
 
Perfectly happy yes :) ...I knew there was a tin-foil-mad-hatter out there somewhere.
I wonder if I should use tape or glue... inside or out... hmmmm.
 
Ah...knew it had somthing to do with keeping rust of the pretty, new die set. :)


you can always see how many you can stack up before someone comes along and yells "Jumanji!" and knocks them all over. :evil:

They put micro chips in those pieces of cardboard. They know everything you bought and every move you make. The only way to hide is to line your reloading room with lead and wear a foil suit and hat. :uhoh: But then I could be off a little on this one.
 
Or mebbe they are to appease the brass gnomes that live under your work bench? You know the ones...they grab the last piece of brass you have just processed and haul butt with it, never to be seen again. :)

Rusty is right on. Not only do they contain video and sound recording devices but they transmit this information to an overhead sat. or preadator plane above along with GPS info. My suggestion is when you see one of these is to turn the music up loud and turn off the lights. Take the device and soak in some water. This should disable the transmission of any info. Then get rid of it.

That's what those things are for?
I was leaning toward alien implantation or Brady Bunch tagget:neener:

Are you telling me I lined the room and made the suit and hat for nothing.:banghead: Well the room might be a waste but I can wear the suit and hat out can't I.
 
Has it occured to anyone that all he has to do is put it in the garbage and let the garbage men haul it off to a dump site where it will be buried forever along with all the rest of the pieces of cardboard therefore confusing Big Brother?:D
 
It's really a vapor phase inhibitor [prevents rusting for you guys in CA]. Unfortunately I have no info on how VPI effects aliens !!
