Just got off the phone with Jason and Steve, we were pretty close growing up. Kinda like next door neighbors (I'm from Kansas, them Neb). Hell we even shared different mothers and attended different schools together.
Anywho they told me on the down low that they had been watching this site and seeing all the traction the 7mm Mashburn has gained, they have decided to commercialize the cartridge
Like they said, they solved a problem they didnt even know existed

I heard from a very well VETTED squirrel that not only the 7mm Masher, but a whole line derived from that cartridge starting with it necked up to 9.3mm, 'cause they know how popular that caliber is around here too. (but shhhhh, only 4 more days to go) Geno PS, word is it's also coming out in an AI'd version. For AR's. PPS, don't worry you long range 6.5 lovers, it's third on the list, coming out just in time for Christmas gift giving.

What my Hornady contact indicated the new product would be was a Long Range "Salt Treated" bullet for use by Campfire members only on those Extra Long Range Shots.
This will help so the critter will not spoil by the time they can walk up to it. Dear Hornady, Some of us long range shooters are older and suffer from hypertension. Will you be releasing a reduced sodium version of your Long Range "Salt Treated" bullet for our use also? Thanks, The old guys,

A buddy of mine who knows Jason said they're discontinuing the 257cal/100 gr Interlock which seems weird since there is no corresponding SST to take its place. Bugger me!!!!! That's my favourite bullet in both the .250 Savage and .257 Roberts. Why would they cut that bullet from their line-up???????

I know we used glue in school called mucilage. Was elmers, clear bottle, with a rubber tip, like a chisel point. push down and the slot opened up.
Didn't taste nearly as good as plain old elmers or the paste that had kind of a minty wintergreen flavor.
Damn, you….da….man! I never knew anyone who tried eating mucilage.  (The paste in the jar, OTOH, was actually quite tasty. Gotta admit, though, I don't much care for wintergreen anymore; perhaps I ODed?  Then again, maybe if me and Stan ran across Maydell again, we might try to impress her again.  )

OK, that made me laugh quite hard! So, Maydell went for glue eaters, eh?  Sounds like my kinda girl! Geno

More serious guess here... They're bringing out a whole new line of non-toxic bullets and ammo to stay ahead of coming State and Federal regulations. They'll be "state of the art" in material and design.   Just a guess. You're close.

Maybe designer bullets in a whole pallete of different colors, or McSwirly bullets for the discriminating rifleman... I'm holding out for a Horny McFlame...Just the name does great damage... DF Horny McFlame...... I think I went to school with that dude!

I be willing to bet that 90% of the folks here on the 'fire that graduated high school after 1980 would not know what "mucilage" is and would be utterly lost if asked to use it in a sentence! (Oh, I think there might be about 3 that graduated so I figure a 66.666666 % chance of winning if even one could get it right!) How's this Geno, I was BORN after 1980 and can tell you that mucilage was/is used by old fuddy-duddys as a dry fly/fly line flotant. Or at least, when I worked in a fly shop, we sold a product labeled as "mucilin" Dunno if it had anything to do with "mucilage" Close youngster, but no real cigar: You're talking this stuff or similar, right: http://www.cabelas.com/product/Mucilin/744641.utsSteve and I mean this stuff: http://www.thecakelady.ca/lepagesglue/mucilage.htmlwhich is probably partly made of this: from wikipedia (that infallable source of ALL internet knowledge) "Mucilage is a thick, gluey substance produced by nearly all plants and some microorganisms. It is a polar glycoprotein and an exopolysaccharide. Mucilage in plants plays a role in the storage of water and food, seed germination, and thickening membranes. Cacti (and other succulents) and flax seeds especially are rich sources of mucilage" If something is "mucilaginous" it is "snotty". Ever seen a hagfish? If you ever do you'll get the idea! nice try you young pup. Geno PS, you and J can get to bed now! It's past your bedtime PPS, you may be partially right but I'd hate to admit it. The British "mucilins", not the silicone ones, probably had/have some mucilage in the formula from what I found out pokin' around. I know we used glue in school called mucilage. Was elmers, clear bottle, with a rubber tip, like a chisel point. push down and the slot opened up. Didn't taste nearly as good as plain old elmers or the paste that had kind of a minty wintergreen flavor. You must have been from a rich family to have Elmer's. We had Lepage's, which despite the name, ain't from France.

We boiled our own cow hooves and added chicken [bleep] for a binder.

I don't normally bite my nails,...but have a couple of the cleaner fingers chewed off back to the first joint.The greasy and nasty tasting ones are going quick. This suspense could kill one. GTC
