I wish you good fortune. Unlike similar threats I've heard here over the years, I'd believe the ones you refer to. In fact; given the circumstances, I wouldn't stop with "a few packs". Pity there isn't time to turn loose that vaunted Afrikaner ingenuity and work out the bugs on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX7vwivR6cE. As a workable alternative, how about this genuine crowd pleaser?
As for Hornady - they're doing what the market and production capacity demands, prioritizing production. Some of their choices puzzle me but there's always Sierra, Barnes, Nosler, Swift, etc. etc to more than address any perceived gaps.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
