Hornady Podcast on Load Development

[CA_Shooter]

What other shooting brand has a podcast..........?

Hornadys podcast is just marketing plain and simple. They are not interested in actual scientific tests. They are interested in consumer engagement and brand awareness. They will do analytics off the podcast engagement and determine if it is worth the investment. These are not hobbiests, they are selling products even if indirectly.

Yes, it is the education based selling model, but they are half assing the education part and providing a sub par product in that regard.

I want to see Hornady at a benchrest match with their “load 1gr under max and .050 off the lands”. I bet they would whip everyone with their 0.6 MOA rifles lol

The best advice I've found is from this forum. I'm not a benchrest shooter, but by taking some of the techniques advocated here and choosing quality components and carefully assembling them, I got pretty good results surprisingly quickly. I'm not using any Hornady components although I do have a few of their products.

The best advise I ever got was to find a person or two who are successful at the game you want to play and learn from them. They exist everywhere. You just have to look. Shoot more, podcast less.

Very true I was mentored by a very good shooter when I was young. Helps a lot, you have to stay open to learning new things. I tend to look everywhere, pick up tips and advice then try them out and see what works for you. I tell new shooters there is the general good advice to begin with but with experience you'll find what works for you. The target will tell you if you're on the right track, that's the thing I love about shooting sports.
