Well, the 150 gr BTSP in .308 is going to bother the missus.
She'll have to make do with the pile of 150 gr FMJBT for target practice.
Personally I'm glad they left the 180g SST alone- although I was looking forward to a box of 180gr BTSP's this fall- I'll just have to make do with the
3 or 4 thousand SST's I have that are/shoot almost exactly the same except a ballistic tip
I'm pretty sure that hornady had discussions like this to get the results they did. I say kudos to them for getting what really matters out the door as quickly as possible. I know all of you 52gr BTHP enthusiasts in .223 will be stunned to death..........
Frankly, CCI should have done this with their rimfire production... why are they still cranking out .22LR Quiets and .22 Shorts and .22LR birdshot when they cannot keep up with demand for plain old .22LR LRN or mini-mags?
Funny note on this'n : I got a call from BIMART on monday that all of the 22 was coming in, and would be available tuesday morning.
When I showed up tuesday morning, the line was CRAZY- I guess they called everyone else, too.
So everyone gets in to the ammo counter, and I take one look at the boxes on the counter and KNEW there was about to be a riot.
1 case of 22 minimags- 12 cases of 22 shorts.
12 cases of 22 shorts......... 12 gosa!!@dfansd@@#$fgmn CASES OF 22 SHORTS.
I laughed, grabbed a coffee for the counter guy I know, and took off.
He called me later and said he saved me a single sleeve of minimags for the coffee- it was the nicest thing that happened to him all day......
