1. Call Hornady
2. Get the straight poop
3. Profit
I wish I knew what happened to the letter I got from Ruger when I queried them about making rifles from stainless steel (like a few of their revolvers), and putting them in synthetic stocks. They said they "had no plans" but came out with them a few months later. (I think maybe I'll seek "royalties" for my successful idea!
)
IOW, good luck getting "straight poop" from a manufacturer, but it's possible.
