I just got off the phone with Steve Hornady, he wanted some advice on a new bullet design for the 6.5 Creedmoor...
tell him we need a 100 gr round nose for brush shots at small deer.
same in .257, for 25-35
I don't understand.............................they already make a 6.5mm 160gr round nose.....................what more can a guy ask for for the Creed?

PS, and a 117gr in .257
I actually told him that they can relabel their bullet # 26202 to #26222 and put a cannelure in the bullet, recommend turning it around and loading it base out. The BC is still 485 and there are enough 6.5 guys out there that will buy it by the 1000's...
That is a spanking good idea! Likely double their sales without having to retool.
Next time you Mr Hornady, maybe suggest they make some double ended bullets, same ogive either end. Especially for the newest bestest rounds or the new to reloading folks, as I get the impression some folks don't know which way is up and then it wouldn't matter.
