  Jeff has forgotten more than most could possibly imagine. A National treasure.

  Another eye opening interview is Erik Cortina with Mr. Krieger.

  This is a podcast that is screaming for indexing.  With indexing I would be able to revisit certain parts as I require more than one listen to have the information penetrate on some topics.

  For those of you wondering Schneider barrels makes the Polygon rifling that Mr. Siewert mentioned. Let me tell you they work! I love the nod to the old school 30-06 still just plain works.  Now onto which barrel contours are most effective? How heavy a contour do we really need? To flute or not to flute? Which is more accurate Stainless or Chromoly? Twist rate is over stabilizing as big a factor with today’s bullets? How much more heat/friction is created with the faster twist barrels? I’d like a round two please!

  Interesting note is that here in New Zealand  most of our suppressors are designed how Jeff described in that the come back down over the barrel somewhat, it also helps be not as muzzle forward especially on bigger calibres as most of the volume needed to capture the gas is sitting over the barrel rather than it all hanging out the front

  This is the most informative program I have seen on this subject in the 67 years I have been shooting.

  This is the most amazing technical firearm video I've ever seen.    Kudos to Hornady Manufacturing videos and also to Mr Siewert.    Well done!
