    On this episode, Seth is joined by Judd Jarzynka and MIL/LE Contract Coordinator, John Hasselmann. The guys discuss handgun ammunition; specifically, Hornady Critical Duty® and Critical Defense®. The two lines may look very similar but they have considerable differences. Critical Defense is the ultimate choice for any short-barreled, concealed-carry-style firearm. Critical Duty is built to meet the needs and requirements of LE/Tactical professionals as well as law-abiding citizens who prefer a full-size handgun for their personal protection. Join us as we discuss additional details, advantages, and applications of each.

After leaving the Army, Ken worked as a field representative for Remington, then as an independent manufacturer’s sales representative, then rep group owner and principle of Sportco Marketing. Ken represented numerous companies throughout his career and we’re grateful that Hornady was on that list. Jason and Ken reminisce with stories of time spent at the Grand American Trapshooting Championships, lessons learned, and industry insights.

Entertaining, super informative and this podcast has challenged my own beliefs about hunting and shooting. I have really enjoyed this podcast! It has really invigorated my interest in reloading. Keep it up guys!!!!

Great episodes great confidence builder

I have been reloading for a while and I love it! To see so many others with the same passion and drive to make quality ammo and enjoy the experience is great for my mental confidence builder. I have well over 15k rounds of loaded ammo and I mainly target shoot. I always come away from the podcast learning something! Also I run 2 hornady presses. One a singe stage and one AP 5 station press. The AP does 95% of the ammo these days but good old reliable single stage has earned its place on my work bench and will forever have a home there! The hornady products are great and the customer service is even better! Thank you to all at hornady past and present for making the company what it is! Customer service is 99% of every business and you guys do a great job.

Great Podcast.

As a fairly new hunter I am just in the education mode on reloading. Sure with Hornady would participate in 5mm rimfire. What great performance would be there if……
