Hornady, right along with all of their competitors, sold bullets for the 6.5mm Carcano that were .264" in diameter for decades. The introduction of a .268" bullet for the Carcano stood a very good chance of making this very obvious; hardly what one would call good advertising. As the market for 6.5mm Carcano cartridges is obviously quite limited, and cornering such a market would hardly make Hornady a profit, if it made a profit at all, wouldn't they have been better off just keeping their mouths shut, and continuing to make .264" bullets for the Carcano?
And, should the idea catch on, what is to stop their competitors from making .268" bullets for the Carcano, and taking back the "massive" 6.5mm Carcano market?

Mr. HILL. The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car. His brain was exposed. There was blood and bits of brain all over the entire rear portion of the car. Mrs. Kennedy was completely covered with blood. There was so much blood you could not tell if there had been any other wound or not, except for the one large gaping wound in the right rear portion of the head.
