Checked out your site. As
herofish said, most of us have moved to 6 or 6.5mm in one variant or another. The fact that you don't have 6.5cm ammo is already putting you behind the curve for me. Those of us that still keep a .308 in the lineup are shooting heavier bullets than you're currently loading. Take a look at
www.precisionrifleblog.com and see "what the pros use". From following caliber trends, their calibers tend to be at the cutting edge of where the rest of us will eventually go once factory ammo is available. I haven't gone to one of the 6mm offerings yet because I'm waiting to see which of them is going to get the best support in factory ammo.
I don't reload, so I actively research and seek ammo companies that are providing the best options in factory match ammo. As a smaller company you're in position to keep on top of the newest projectiles and respond faster to the market than the big guys are.
Keep in mind that a huge portion of us, even those that don't handload, chrono our ammo and do so each time we change lot #s. If you're not keeping a competitive SD then it's not of much use unless it's cheap enough for shorter range practice ammo.
The good/bad news is that we share a ton of information with each other about our experiences. If you bring a great product and meet delivery timelines word will spread very quickly that there's a new company worth doing business with. On the flip side, at least a few ammo companies have burned to the ground by screwing over members.
Welcome to the Hide gents, the fact that you're one of the vendors that's chosen to support the new/old Hide is much appreciated. I'm sure some guys will at least start off with some of your subs and give a range report in the near future.
