Bob Smith

Bob Smith is a practicing gunsmith and handloader with over 30 years of hunting experience across Europe and North America. He hunts the open terrain of Northern Nevada and California, where long shots on mule deer, elk, pronghorn, and black bear are the norm. His specialty is wildcat cartridge development - designing custom chamberings, ordering reamers to spec, and proving new cartridges in the field before putting them on paper. He does his own barrel work, chambering, and precision rifle setup. All of his writing comes from hands-on testing and verified results at distance.
