    Ive contacted hornady via phone once or twice before about this, but is there anyone here on the hide that would be able to make some suggestions of bullets to add to the library? I have a hornady kestrel that i love but only for 4dof and i can't use it for 2 of my loads. I would love the Sierra 6mm 95g MK and the 131 black jack to be added to the 4dof library. I dont think my phone calls to hornady went anywhere.
     
    I know @Kestrel Ballistics is on here and they may put you in contact with someone a Hornady. Their 4DOF library is still growing and they are still working to map their current catalog of bullets. They have focused on common bullets for long range comp and hunting first. They don’t even have all of their bullets or new Berger lineup in the 4DOF library.

    They made the solver free to steer people to their bullets. I would pay for an expanded library as I believe their solver is only bested by a custom drag model by AB but you have find the mobile lab then it changes with a new barrel.

    Now I’m gonna go out on a limb and say Hornady putting Sierra bullets in the library isn’t a high priority.
     
    this is the exact reason I decided to buy the AB kestrel and instead of the Hornady one. Once you start shooting projectiles outside their brand you don't get much support
