On This Episode: 

Some shooters are wrecking it for the rest of us, and we’re done staying quiet.

In this episode, Cole, Matt, and Sawyer sound off on the things that seriously piss them off in the shooting world. From garbage left on public land and brass that never gets picked up, to shady sponsor culture, awful rifle advice on Reddit, and overhyped gear, it’s a no-filter conversation about what’s going wrong and how to fix it.

They also dig into air rifle performance and why precision airguns like FX are creeping up on rimfire. Sawyer shares his obsession with coyote hunting, prairie dog shots at 594 yards, and why some gear just flat-out works. The crew also talks about budget setups that actually hold up, and why chasing free gear instead of real-world results is ruining trust across the board.

If you shoot on public land, care about access, or are sick of bad advice getting passed around like truth, this one’s for you.

In this episode of the Long Range Tactics Podcast, Cole Quarnberg and Matt Hornback get into the weeds of reloading, what gear’s worth the investment, what’s just hype, and how to avoid the mistakes that cost you time, money, and consistency.

From favorite tools like the FX-120i and Henderson trimmer to why some brass brands cause more problems than they solve, this one’s full of practical insight from guys who actually run the gear. They cover case prep routines, small base dies, seating depth errors, annealing schedules, and even how humidity messes with powder burn.

Whether you're loading for a match, a hunt, or just better range results, this is a real-world look at what it takes to get repeatable performance out of your ammo without getting lost in gimmicks.

On This Episode: 

In this episode of the Long Range Tactics Podcast, Cole Quarnberg and Matt Hornback break down the fundamentals of field zeroing. What is it, why does it matter, and how do you pull it off when you don’t have access to a 100-yard range or paper targets? Whether you're deep in the backcountry or mid-match with shifting gear, knowing how to verify and adjust your zero in the field is a skill every shooter should have dialed. Cole and Matt share real-world stories from hunts and competitions where things went sideways—busted scopes, mystery POI shifts, and how a calm mindset paired with smart planning can save your hunt or your stage. They walk through practical tools, terrain tricks, and backup methods that help shooters stay confident when conditions aren't perfect. The conversation also dives into suppressor performance, including first impressions of the Thunderbeast Magnus KRR and how it stacks up in recoil control and sound suppression. From decibel meters to field experience, it's an honest look at what works and what’s just hype. Topped off with gear prep talk, scope failures, torque checks, and why routine cleaning still matters, this episode brings a grounded, no-BS look at staying sharp when it counts. If you're serious about keeping your rifle ready and your head in the game, this one’s worth a listen.

On This Episode: 

Chasing precision isn’t just about fancy rifles and optics — it starts with the ammo you’re running. In this episode of the Long Range Tactics Podcast, we dive deep into the world of reloading, factory match ammo, and all the frustrations, myths, and hard-earned lessons that come with it.

We break down the real differences between factory loads and handloads, when reloading is actually worth it, and the surprising moments when factory ammo just plain outshoots your best home-brewed rounds. From reloading bench setups to chasing the perfect group size, we cover the wins, the BS, and everything in between.

Whether you’re a seasoned reloader or just considering getting started, this one’s packed with insights, laughs, and plenty of relatable moments for anyone who’s spent way too much time trying to build the perfect round.
