On this episode, Seth is joined by Senior Ballistician, Jayden Quinlan. The first topic they cover is bullet drag and they take a brief look at the history of measuring it and then they look at the actual equation that defines bullet drag. They then dive into ballistic coefficient and the equation that measures it with some examples. Cd vs Mach curves are then discussed including what they look like and how they can give you better solutions when compared to a ballistic coefficient. This podcast is deep, dense, and a little longer than usual. It will help if you can watch this one, so check it out on our YouTube channel. We hope you enjoy.

How To

On this episode, Seth is joined by Jayden for another episode of Quinlan's Corner. This show dissects the five contributing factors as to why a bullet goes where it goes in a long range shot. The guys discuss how the variables at play can compound each other. By knowing and understanding the five factors, the shooter can start to establish their hit probability for a given target. The foundation has been laid for this with episodes 29, 31, 34, 44, 50, 52, and 57. We hope you enjoy this highly educational episode.

Ep. 129 - Hit Probability

On this episode, Seth is joined by Miles Neville and Preston Lentfer. This show was a listener suggested topic which is reducing recoil by way of hand loading. The guys talk about various ways to get this done safely and effectively and the reasons you might want to consider giving it a try. They also go over other options for reducing recoil for those that don’t hand load. We hope you enjoy the show!

Ep. 128 - Reduced Recoil Reloading

On this episode, Seth is joined by Assistant Director of Engineering, Joe Thielen, and Ballisticians, Jayden Quinlan and Jacob Morrow.  The guys go into great detail on the new Drag Variability Reduction Technology (DVRT™). This patented bullet tip design ensures the ultimate in ballistic consistency by increasing drag uniformity from bullet to bullet.  Topics include the definition of drag variability and how it is accurately measured, the DVRT design process, how and when this technology was implemented, as well as a comparison to BC variability.  We hope you enjoy this technical dive into Drag Variability Reduction Technology.

Ep. 127 - NEW Patented Drag Variability Reduction Technology | DVRT |

On this episode, Seth and Matt are joined by the new Heartland Public Shooting Park Manager and Hornady employee, Tom Busch. The guys discuss one of the most important parts of range safety – proper shooting range etiquette. Whether it’s your first time at a public shooting range or you’re a regular range guest, the guys cover some written and unwritten rules that can help us all. We hope you enjoy the episode!

Ep. 126 - 5 Rules of the Range

Mounting a rifle scope properly is VITAL to not only getting on target, but STAYING on target. Attention to detail here will pay dividends in the field. In this episode Seth & Preston take a precision rifle, scope, and rings from out of the box to range ready. The guys start by covering recommended tools and then dive deep into the process of installing the rings and then mounting and leveling the scope. This episode is filled with firsthand tips & tricks – we hope you learn and enjoy!
