Welcome to Hawkeye Ammosmithing
Welcome to Hawkeye Ammosmithing — a community dedicated to the science, skill, and shared passion of shooting, hunting, reloading, and terminal ballistics.
Founded by Aaron Peterson, a U.S. Air Force veteran and Firearms Technology graduate, this community combines precision, data-driven analysis, and a craftsman’s dedication to performance.
Our mission is to build the most comprehensive Bullet Construction & Terminal Performance Database — documenting everything from jacket thickness and core design to expansion and real-world testing.
Whether you’re a hunter, handloader, or just curious about the science behind bullet performance, you’re welcome to join the discussion and share your knowledge.
