2nd Guessing
Man, Seth, GREAT SHOW!
Love the content and the clean language, for the most part!
Turned a buddy on the the podcast, as well. He’s definitely an enthusiast!
However, I listened to the 75 yr anniversary episode and was completely tuned off by the boss, his attitude and his taking God’s name in vain. I was seriously thinking of going Hornady all the way, but may stick with Sig. Didn’t like the big dawg’s attitude at all.
Thanks for the show.
I have reloaded since I can remember, maybe 50 years now. Far from an expert, learn something new all the time and it often comes from your show. It’s great to know the “right” way to do something but far better to understand the why of it! I often learn that why from you all.
Also thanks for what Horandy has done with Heartland shooting park. Sitting here now getting ready to smoke some zombies Friday. This place rocks.
Reloading since Noah.
I am a baby boomer, started reloading in the 60s, 270win and 30-06. in my 20 started shooting competitively, and still do. Alot of my stuff is from Pacific tool. Seth has done a great job of MC in this podcast. I really enjoy everybody, people from the lab, and people at large with technical knowledge of our sport and pastime. I have yet to find something to disagree with. It sounds like we all had, the same past experiences and adventures. I do a lot of traveling and listen to a lot of podcasts so keep them coming.
