Contact Hornady Reloading Guide Support

The app is handy…until Hornady decides to “upgrade” the data. At that point you can no longer see or use the “old” data that you already paid for. So if you didn’t take a screen shot of it (because you have this handy app), you’ll have to buy their “new” manual or buy access to the “new” data for each caliber you reload. This means you are screwed out of access to the old manual that you already paid for. And this is why you should always have a hardcopy of your reloading manuals. There is no reason for Hornady to block access to their old data inside their app, other than greed. I refuse to be held hostage after a purchase. If I bought it, it’s mine. Otherwise it’s called renting. I detest that business model. Fortunately for us, there are plenty of other excellent bullet manufacturers out there. So I’ll easily and happily find another ammunition source.

I bought the physical book. This app seems like it had all the same info just I could pull it up on the iPad. The book even has a page directing you to download the app. Yet I can’t view any of the info for anything in the 11th edition book that I own. I’m not paying 20 more to get the same info in the app. These vendors need to get their stuff together and give apps that don’t nickel and dime when they aren’t in the business of software micro transactions. They are a company that makes bullets and reloading stuff. It’s insulting that this is such a bother. They only have data for their bullets too, so the info is all in brand. Just give the info for free, like every other manufacturer. Not $0.99 per cartridge.

When you buy the book you don’t get access to the online manual! What a rip off. I would expect to have access anywhere I am shopping and not have to bring my book or make notes and carry scraps of paper like I was living 1995. This is the technology age Hornady, get with it. I am gradually converting to Sierra bullets, it’s just easier to to find what you need when you need it. Also found that Hodgdon and vitavhouri have great apps that give you great reloading information right on your phone. Who need the 13th edition of Hornady’s reloading book. The problem is that with changing from their book also means am going to be buying other manufacturers’ bullets, dies and all the other consumables. Sorry Hornady you missed the reloading press (lol).
