All the measuring tools I have seen are made in china, including the dial calipers
That dude is simping for private equity without the self-awareness to understand the irony. He thinks Hornady is the devil while extoling the entity responsible for the death of Bushnell and RCBS. It's pretty funny that Hornady fixed the two areas of the Henderson trimmer that I always though were hack bullshit. Meanwhile, according to Ricky Bobby, Hornady needs to be more foreign or private equity owned. He said it with a straight face too.
No one is talking about private equity ( which you could argue is much worse than imported chicom shit, but i digress).
Is henderson precision owned by private equity? Chicom owned? I doubt the owner even nets enough profit per year to live on without other income.
The problem is theft of design. A big company with attorneys on retainer who can afford to push around the small guy who can't even afford to defend a patent if it existed. Same thing happened with RCBS going after supertrickler.
It's a small community. Instead of maybe licensing or working with the inventor, they just rip off the design, find a way to manufacture it for pennies on the dollar..mostly by offshoring parts that are substandard ( hoarnady products are pretty much inferior in design and build quality to any competitor) and push the small guy out.
Hornady engineers must be Chinese becuase they couldn't come up with an original design if their life depended on it.
The micrometer does nothing and if you had a Henderson or used a trimmer you would realize how dumb of an idea it is. Once you set your depth for a cartridge, you never touch it again. You have a different bolt for each case already preset. Micrometer does nothing more than maybe save 10 second during setup but much more likely to drift or get knocked out of the correct setting. If I am trimming 800 cases don't need to be checking oal every so many cases to make sure it hasn't moved.
I'm trying to think of any product that hornady makes that is a market leader...that someone else doesn't make a better version of. Their measuring tools are all chicom rebranded shit sold 5x more than they should. Their comparitors suck. Their bullets blow up and have shitty variance. Their dies and reloading tools are cheaply made and poorly honed.
Only a idiot or someone with zero morals would buy this shit. They are ripping off small american owned businesses with chicom and poor mass produced shit.
Congrats you posted something even dumber than your previous post. I am honestly impressed.
