"new" ripoff trimmer from Hornady

[Dolomite]

Wait you guys trim brass?

 

[Benchrest Braxton]

And if RCBS, Wilson, Lyman or (insert your favorite) came out with a differentiated version of an existing design there’d be just as much moral indignation. Right? Or is the outrage due to
BIG
BAD
HORNADY

no i used to love hornady, when others demonized them. i guess i see where the others were coming from now

 

[Kracken McGraw]

I’m enjoying their click adjustable micrometer die top for the seating dies and Hornady seating stems seem to fit bullets with no modifications needed. They have some good innovations.

 

[Kracken McGraw]

I kinda picture you as a young frustrated "person" full of piss and vinegar sporting a manbun and shooting Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor Match grade ammo unable to hit your target......BUT I could be wrong

I thought he was 84. lol.

Who invented the first handheld priming tool with a hopper? I don’t know which other companies to shun at this point.

 

[Capt. Oblivious]

Imagine how the first guy that invented a powder dispenser or the first reloading tray must feel

Am i the only one that still thinks the Giraud is superior. I dont want a pilot spinning in my case mouth ununiformly removing carbon from the neck

I am with you. I own a Giraud.
The Hendersen is plagued with pilot dimensions problems..they have to be sanded down to fit..then some user report the pilot marring the inside of the case neck…and in test - head to head..the Giraud is faster to process brass…

And just think how many new companies "Ripped off" Henry Ford with copies and innovations of his automobile . Wonder if they now drive something other than a Ford ?????? or stick to Ford's ????

Just curious. It is a funny world anymore, right ?

 

[jthor]

Screw em, unless they make it right to Henderson, screw em. They just took his design and made a few changes to it. It’s funny watching them delete any comment that points this out on FB too.

I hope they aren’t the titled sponsor of the PRS next year. They should have looked up to MDT and how they approach things like the: Ckyepod and LRA E level. They brought the designers under their umbrella. Hornady opted to just screw Henderson and make cheap Chinese crap.

Excellent point.

 

[SeabeeKen]

They've been reinventing cartridges for years by making minor changes. People keep sucking it up

Well, at least in cartridges, they do provide a lot of value add. They have the advantage of producing things that make it easy for adoption, like commercially available brass, and helping manufacturers use appropriate twist rates.

Whether Henderson or Hornady....different neck tensions will require different pilots. Neither are for me.
Not at those prices...

 

[shoot4fun]

Henderson was using Forster cutters as well as the collets,

WHAT?!!!!!!
Oh the outrage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How can we even think of buying from someone who was stealing part of his machine from another company?!!!!!!!!!!!!! (ironic sarcasm)

 

[Tim Singleton]

If that thing has a pilot that spins inside the neck. That makes It a no go for a lot of guys looking for the best accuracy from their loading

 

[urbanrifleman]

I was thinking that both seem ridiculously expensive.

It's silly. Like guys who make mods to guitar amps and goop the inside with epoxy so no one can see it. They literally change a few resistors and caps in a complete tube amp and their mod is a "secret".

Tesla invented ac current. Actually he pretty much invented everything electric we use today. He died poor. Between Tesla and Edison you would all be sitting in the dark using oil lamps and wood for heat. We don't have a holiday for either.

The idea that anything is a unique invention today is really kind of silly.

If John Browning had better lawyers we would all be legally required to shoot a 30-06 only. And that was a copy of a Mauser. It's silly.

 

[Supervel]

I agree with you. I'm disappointed in Hornady.

Between them knowingly falsifying velocity on the 7mmPRC factory ammo, forcing the COVID jab on their employees, and now copying Berger and Henderson, I'm not sure if I can support them anymore. On the flip side, I have one of their progressive presses and they have been great. Additionally, they have been VERY kind to a person friend of mine that works in the gun industry.

How do we know that they faked the velocity on 7mmPRC again? I missed it. As far as the jab goes every business was crushed into a bad place trying to do what was right,sometimes required by their Insurance carriers,contractual agreements etc. The Chicoms and Dem border"policy" are the main culprits as they are with killing over 100 thousand military age Americans w fentanyl every 2 years.

I’m still using my old Sinclair hand cranker. You guys are getting lazy with all this powered machinery!

 

[K22]

K22 do you have a camera on your phone?

I have a Flip Phone that does have a camera. You have to pardon me; I am lost in the 20th century. I am fighting against the brave new world.

PS: I did have some nice members here that have allowed me to text them groundhog pictures and they posted them on here because one member said, "no pictures - it didn't happen". While that didn't bother me, I did have an exceptional day this summer. I got 7 monsters in one hunt and some I wanted to brag about it and one of the members posted the pictures for me. These days I get so little to brag about. So, it did happen!
