Welcome to Hawkeye Ammosmithing!
Welcome to Hawkeye Ammosmithing! First off — thank you for taking the time to check out the site and be part of what I hope will grow into something truly special. This is a brand new community, so things will start off a little quiet at first, but with your help, I’m confident it’ll grow into one of the top destinations for hunters, reloaders, shooters, and ballistics nerds alike.
The goal here is simple:
To build a home for open, respectful discussion about all things firearms, hunting, reloading, and terminal performance — free from drama, favoritism, and censorship.
What This Site Is All About

Whether you’re into long-range hunting, bullet testing, load development, or just want to connect with others who share your interests, this forum is designed for you.We’re committed to running the site true to the rules — no double standards, no politics, and no unnecessary drama. Everyone is expected to treat others with the same respect they’d want in return.

Feedback and Suggestions Welcome
This is your community as much as it is mine. If you have ideas for new forum categories, suggestions for improving navigation, styling tweaks, or any feature you’d like to see — post them! I genuinely want your input as we shape this place together.
I’m running everything solo right now — no developers, no tech team — so if you notice something that could be improved or if a change takes a little time, I appreciate your patience and understanding. Every tweak you see to the look, interface, or settings comes from me personally, line by line.
Help Spread the Word
The biggest thing anyone can do to help right now is share the site. Tell your friends, fellow reloaders, range buddies, or hunting partners. The more people who know about it, the more valuable and active this place becomes for everyone.Forums only thrive with good people and good discussions — and that starts right here with those of you reading this.
In Closing
This site is built for you — the shooters, hunters, reloaders, and students of ballistic science who want a place where technical curiosity meets respect and integrity.Thanks for being here early and helping build the foundation. Stick around, start some discussions, share what you know, and let’s see how far we can take this together.
Welcome aboard — and happy shooting!
