Tanner posted a list of Hornady products that are on a suspended manufacture list until the end of the year. It is copy of a fax that was being posted over on Sniper's Hide on the subject.
As usual, the "Tin Foil Hat" accusation crowds went into action with their usual antics.
The fax copy post was listing 7 paqes of product that Hornady is planning to suspend manufacture of until the end of the year, so that they can keep their equipment up and running to turn out their biggest selling products, without having to stop and do change over to different products and try to stay on top of orders and back orders.
I called Hornady this morning at 6:35 AM West Coast Time and 8: 35 AM, Nebraska time. I got right thru to their sales dept, and the gal I spoke to there VERIFIED that the fax and suspension is REAL, not internet fabrication.
Just passing it on, anyone doubting it still can feel free to call Hornady themselves at 800.338.3220

So, a manufacturer is going to concentrate on it's most popular and profitable products, and you think it's a conspiracy? ![[Linked Image]](http://barbaricthoughts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/tin-foil-hat-e1303319730252.jpg)

From the other thread it looks like you have to have a login to Sniper's Hide.
Could you post that list here?

I have not bought anything made by Hornady in years, so the list makes no never mind to me.

I think it would be a hell of a fun job, running a metal stamping plant, that is running balls to the wall trying to keep up with demand. Hopefully they have some smart guys, who are looking at machine uptimes, and figuring out how to increase throughput.

Even upside down the list doesn't look too bad, you can see it is more of their lower selling bullets like Interbonds, round noses and such. Also the first half of it is loaded factory ammo which I wouldn't shoot anyway. Nothing among the component bullets that I shoot a lot of is listed there. But even if it was, I'm a hoarder and already have plenty of everything I like to shoot up on the shelves. 
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.

Weird, looks like all 338 bullets are suspended. I was actually about to try some.

The 75gr AMax .223's are on the list along with my favorite C&C .308 165gr BTSP.  I was hoping to get some 75gr AMax's for my Rock River Varmint Special. I noticed that there are no .308 loaded ammo choices on the list.  Ed
