Hawkeye Ammosmithing

A lot of people focus on extreme muzzle velocity as the answer to flatter shooting, less wind drift, and better long-range performance.

And early on, it works.

But there’s a point where drag compounds, velocity advantage fades, and ballistic coefficient takes over whether we like it or not.

I published a companion article to my more in-depth BC article, that breaks down:

• Why high MV looks great at shorter distances
• Where and why the crossover happens
• How BC increasingly dominates past that point
• And how this applies to real-world hunting and shooting (not just ELR)

This isn’t about “slow vs fast” or telling anyone how they should hunt or shoot, it’s about understanding the physics so you can make smarter equipment and load choices for your own distances.

If you’ve ever wondered why speed works… until it doesn’t — this one’s for you.

🦅 Exciting News — Hawkeye Ammosmithing is Live!

After a lot of late nights and learning curves, I finally have the Hawkeye Ammosmithing website up and running! It’s still a work in progress, but the forum side is officially live and ready to join in.
Right now, it’s a place for hunters, reloaders, shooters, and ballistics nerds to connect — share experiences, ask questions, and learn from each other without all the usual restrictions you’d run into on Facebook or other platforms.

There’s also a classifieds section where members can post and browse 2A-related gear, ammo, and equipment for sale or trade — no censorship or “community guideline” headaches.
This is just the beginning. My long-term goal is to expand the site into a full platform for my upcoming ammo manufacturing, precision brass prep, and custom load development business once it officially launches. The forum will remain a core part of that — a space for open discussion, data sharing, and real-world results.

If you’re into reloading, terminal ballistics, precision shooting, or hunting — or just want to be part of a solid community of like-minded people — come check it out, register, and help it grow!
