Hornady: "We change everything 10/27/15"

[Hondo 60]

Posts 3 & 4 express my sentiment exactly.

Sounds like nothing to me.

Oh guys, I'm so sorry to dilute the sea of "What rifle should I buy for deer/gerbils/elephants?" and "Give me load data because I don't want to have to read a book on the subject!" Threads with a post about a new mystery shooting product.

O.P. Don't be sorry, this is a fun change! more entertaining than April 1st.

Again, from the video...

We've solved a problem that none of us ever really fully realized existed before.

The more I think about it, that sounds like their heads-in-the-sand, last century design, of progressives with tube primer system "pipe bombs" finally hit them.....or maybe shrapnel did! a blow up at the factory?

So maybe they came up with a brand new, 21 century, APS style primer system of their own!!!!! (now that RCBS caved on theirs)

It's the new HWBB..!!
Hornady Water Balloon Bullet

Just think, we never thought we needed one of these..
Put fires out that all the Hollywood copper & lead bullets make when they SPARK hitting anything from cars to concrete...!!

OH! You mean like the LNL bushing that solves the problem of people that are too lazy to screw dies in and out of a threaded hole?!

Hornady may have come up with the best solution to that problem but RCBS, Dillon, and Lee all tried to solve it too with removable toolheads/turrets.

Only problem with the Hornady bushings I had was that they self quick detached while loading. The intermittent and detent locked threads of the Lee breech lock, is a better system.

Very thin, and cheap, shims between the press bushing and the die bushing resolve that issue. Lee's bushings are harder to line up. I'll take the Hornady system any day over the Lee. Good thing we have choices.

What? the patents for the Remington Golden Saber two-diameter bullets have run out?
Imitation...flattery?

 

[Dudedog]

Nice research jmorris.

Rats, I was hoping for an antikink spring for the LNL progressive,
That would be something.

I'm guessing it's a total weather station that calculates your hold for you based upon temperature, humidity, wind speed. Of course this will be highly subject to flying birds, swimming fish and toilets flushing within a 2 mile radius.

I didn't have any shims on hand when I had the problem but did have some O-rings and added a thin one under the existing one and that kept it in place.

Never had any problems lining up the Lee though, it is just an interrupted thread, drop it in and turn 90 degrees until the plunger locks it in place.

Kind of sounds like the ACA to me. Hard sell of something we don't necessarily need. But this thread however, was most entertaining.

 

[Rule3]

Appears that their stupid video got us all hooked. Which is all advertising is.

 

[jmorris]

I'm not hooked just killing time waiting on the next subsonic 300 blk thread...it's rained almost 6" here since the thread started. Think I might just go shoot in the rain.

I think something like that already exists. https://www.barrett.net/optics/bors

Silent, like the Doppler radar wind!!

Doubling production of .22 LR?

 

[higgite]

Doubling production of .22 LR?

For Hornady, that would still be zero. Or maybe zero zero.

 

[627PCFan]

How about all bullet lineups all currently instock

 

[joed]

Because I have a relative that works for Hornady I can tell you ahead of the announcement. They have redesigned the LnL progressive from the ground up. They will be dropping support of the previous version for the new model immediately.















Just kidding!

Don't touch that dial, again, I have already lost interest.

Many years ago an oil company announced a coming big event. 'PINK AIR', time came and went, no pink air, and no one cared. Most were like me, they would not walk across the street to watch an ant eat a bail of hay.

The oil company was named FINA.

That wouldn't be anything new, they already did that with the pro 7 and pro-jector.
