Ep. 079 - Going Ballistic with Dave Emary 

Y'all can bring Dave Emary back anytime so he can tell all his dad's WWII stories! I'm sure I'm not the only one who would listen to a 4 hour podcast of those kinda WWII stories!

Now that's what I call a "grand slam" show. Wow, that was good. One for the ages!

This has been the best podcast yet. It really shows how influential Dave was in a great turning point for the company, and to come from such a humbled person. You can tell he really enjoyed his time there. I could watch a whole months were of podcasts with this man, thank you.

I could listen to Dave talk all day long. What a great video.

An industry legend and a privilege to sit and listen to him recount his life experiences and career achievements. Just a fabulous video.

Dave is by far the coolest person on the youtube platform. Please bring him back for more of his dads war stories. Thank you Hornady!

Dave is amazing! We need more Dave’s in the world!

Great Conversation! Great to hear the back story of history unfolding and what an awsome ride Dave Emary had and we are much better off for his contributions! Thanks Dave and Thanks Hornady!!

Love Dave’s story about Steve and the 17HMR😁

This is all time The best episode so far for the podcast and I definitely need the whole story on 6.5 creedmoor and a lot more on his dad's stuff in the war. hell all the Hornady story's would be awesome

I was one of those groups that Dave mentions at the end of the video. Done 2 courses with Dave at EMRTC, learned a ton from him each time, and more from this video. Good to hear those stories Dave!

Great to see Dave on here again and I hope he enjoy’s his long deserved retirement where he can play with what ever he wants. I shot the first “”vintage sniper” match out at Ben Avery in next in the lane to R. Lee “Gunny” Emery and I thought it was Dave, but my mTBI memory isn’t nearly as good as Dave’s memory. Either way R. Lee and his partner (Dave or not) had me laughing so hard as they bickered about wind calls and adjustments that I had a hard time keeping my rifle on target I was laughing so hard. And it was always great to hear advice from Dave and the others that used to come down to Ben Avery in Phoenix for those CMP and Creedmoor Western games I learned a lot from the little bit of info they gave us. Thanks for it!

Thanks for the weekly entertainment and education!

Two thumbs up!! 👍👍

Where would we be if Dave's dad hadn't survived the war?? It's all about fate. Great podcast as usual and Dave is too modest. We need some Jayden and Dave series of podcasts ASAP. Can't wait for the next episode.

Awesome! Go BUCKS!🙌😄 Your podcast program selections are truly great! Keep it coming!

Dang ‼️ Mr Emary is incredible 😳 He is the Man ‼️ 😎

You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this! 👍

I'd definitely be down for more "Story Time with Dave Emary"!

This was easily the best episode so far. Extremely interesting stories with so much insight into the industry and how Hornady got to where it is now. Seth, your interviewing skills are top-notch. Thanks for bringing Dave on.

Great interview, we miss you at EMRTC

If you have a passion for the shooting arts you must take the time to watch these podcasts! I'm sure you will have many credit hours towards a degree in ballistics! I started varminting in 96 with a 24" bull DPMS barrel AR, shooting V-MAX bullets with 1/2 groups. My Budy and I developed our loads at the M&M auto gun range in Steamboat Springs CO. We then proceeded to take our very impressive groups to the prairie poodle populations near Bags Wyoming and boy howdy did we! As I grow older my passion for accuracy and the shooting sports only grows stronger while most other hobbies have faded. Keep up the good work Hornady! Keep preaching the good , acceptable and perfect desire we share of the wonders Yahweh has given us to learn! Creation itself testifies of God that no man is without excuse!

Another excellent pody.

What a great episode!

Dave needs to be on the podcast at least once a month for the next few years.

😁 It was a Good to see you bring Dave back to share his experiences with us! 👍

Brand new to hunting and guns in general really been enjoying your podcast feel like I've been missing out but really appreciate the information and stories.

Another real good video. In order for a technical manufacturing company to thrive it must have all the things associated with great head quarters management and a great technical and manufacturing team. Hornady appears to have had and continues to have both.

What a refreshing and interesting video! Great job guys!

This is the podcast I feel blessed to have watched…a fantastic history 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸

What a great video. Thank you guys.

Dave is one of the coolest people I’ve ever seen on any podcast/show. His dad was a real hero.

Oh dang! Stocked for Mr. Emary, but when I saw “Going Ballistic” I thought you were gonna have Ryan Cleckner on!

Love the war stories do another podcast on Emary!!

Great podcast! Wouldn't it be nice if SAAMI adopted .0005" freebore as the industry standard? IMO that would bring a lot more versatility, i.e., precision, to a lot of existing cartridges. Good job!

Mr. Emary helped my uncle and I build my first custom rifle.

Just awesome! Learned a lot from listening to Dave and the guys. Thank you for making this episode 😀

really interesting.

Great show. Great story. My Ruger precision likes them all. Went with 140gr eldm.

Good morning Hornady! Down in your neck of the woods today delivering hay to a feed lot.

Awesome interview! The one cartridge and bullet weight for me would be 17 HMR with the 17 gr V-MAX bullet. Yes, a little different than the norm, but my pick none the less.

Dave Emary is the GOAT and has handed it off to a couple of little goats! Ha. Seriously the way Dave developed the HMR and got Steve Hornady on board blazed a great path for Hornady and as far as I'm concerned has forced others to follow suit in cartridge development. Think about the new Weatherby, Nosler and Sig offerings. All those started because Dave got Steve on board on a pet project!

Great podcast!

My Dad worked at the Pentagon for 40 years. It’s true, the Sergeant Major is the doorman and the Colonel is the secretary at the Pentagon (or Naval equivalent). 😊 And on an edited note, the real Pentagon decision making is done over in Crystal City.

A good teacher gives freely to his students,and he wants them to secede

Excellent Video you guys great stories.

The 30 gr 22 mag. is a hammer in my American. Got one of the first Ruger 77/17's in .17HMR, 2004 I think. Still have it, must have a thousand rounds through it.

when the17hmr came out i could not get a gun so i rebarreled a 510 remington it still shoots 1/4 min.

Dave, could you have Hornady do some pressure testing with LeverEvolution and medium and heavy weight 5.56mm Service Rifle loads? I know there are people using it very successfully in competition and the Hornady App & Book do not have any information load data for it. I'm interested in using it with 88s and 90gr A-Tips. LeverEvolution is reasonably priced and has good availability.

What's the music used in the intro?

If Mr. Emary has a position under him available for a navy nuke getting out in a couple of years, that would be my dream job

Homerun!

How hard did you guys laugh after the tech line joke?

Haaahaaa! You will never beat Sierra for accuracy. All you have is the government contract.

17 hmr wasn't for me/22 mag all the way
