What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Thank you for the recent episode on match bullets for hunting, as a avid hunter and reloader who sells firearms for a living I appreciate these topics on educating the public. With all the social media feeding new/old hunters on the “best” practices for taking big game I’d love to hear more topics on small calibers for big game, long range hunting and the reality of these methods.

Great content, intriguing guests, and so much info you may have to listen twice. If you’re a student of rifle-craft this is a must follow.

DTMagnum · Sep 2025

Never thought I would enjoy listening to guys talking about everything gun related, but I have to say this one always have something interesting and sometimes they even answer questions I didn’t know I had.

I found your podcast a few days ago, and to a reloading nerd it is great. Listened to the show on 6ARC and ordered 250 rounds of brass and a set of die’s before the show was over. Now I have to find a rifle

TFppppR · Mar 2024

Initially I loved the podcast. Then competitive shooters - who are very successful- started to be quite vocal in their disagreement with what Hornady advocates in their podcasts. I wrote it off as “different strokes for different folks” and that Hornady has to live in the realm of SAAMI specs and the competitors don’t. Now the trust has been broken. The 7mm PRC debacle has made me question everything they say. As a 7mm PRC shooter, the willful dishonesty of their factory product is despicable. Mistakes happen and can be forgiven. Willfully lying won’t be forgiven. And now that we know that Hornady will willfully lie to their customers, everything else they say must be questioned. Such a shame. The guys on the podcast sounded like good guys. But now we know it was an act to sell more product.
