Host Seth Swerczek sits down with Hornady's Kyle Brockhaus to break down his lightweight bolt-action 6 ARC hunting rifle. From component selection and handloading to the 90 gr CX and real-world hunting performance, they cover the thought process behind building a compact, low-recoil rifle that's ready for everything from antelope to whitetails.

Host Seth Swerczek sits down with the team from TENET Suppressors to ask a controversial question: Do muzzle brakes belong on suppressors? They explore the engineering behind TENET's braked suppressor systems and how they balance recoil reduction, sound suppression, weight, and the ability to spot impacts in the field.

On this episode of the Hornady Podcast, host Seth Swerczek is joined by Miles Neville and Preston Lentfer to examine whether primer selection and seating depth affect accuracy, velocity consistency, and reliability. Backed by extensive testing and real-world data, the group separates meaningful results from statistical noise and explains what reloaders should be aware of at the bench.

Host Seth Swerczek is joined by Preston Lentfer to take a closer look at the 338 ARC in a bolt-action rifle. They break down Preston's component choices, and what makes this traditionally AR-focused cartridge such a fun and capable option in a bolt gun—from quiet subsonic shooting to hunting applications.
