  • Top Notch

    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.

  • Good grief...

    In case you didn't know Hornady makes ammo, don't worry; they will remind you every 5 minutes. More ad time than content.

  • Can I get a HM2?

    I don’t read so good and found myself the slightly confused, annoyed, and now curious owner of a box of 17 Mach 2 ammo. Can we hear about this one?

    Lever Action

    All the talk about suppressors, scopes and long range shooting I enjoy listening to with my morning coffee so keep those subjects in your lineup.

    Interest in lever actions on the rise maybe add them to an episode, in particular the 45 Long Colt. Very limited loading data and bullet selection from Hornady.
