Jeff Siewert

Well, I'm sort of a semi-retired ballistics engineer.

I'm still doing work on things that I enjoy and that excite me.

I'm a 2024 recipient of National...

Defense Industrial Association's Chin Award.

And you go on NDIA website and look at that and you can see that they don't give those away to everybody.

So I'm very honored to have received that.

I'm the author of a book, Ammunition Demystified.

It's available on Barnes and Noble.

and uh and amazon and basically it condenses uh my 40-year career into about 450 pages of uh information so uh if that's something that uh after listening to me tonight you decide it might be more uh more information that you'd like to have um

Feel free to go ahead and pick one of those up.

Been reloading since 1983.

I just looked at my records, loaded in the neighborhood of 10,000 rounds over the years.

It's not a big pile, but loaded everything from, let's see, 17 fireball up to this .50 caliber count.

Yes.

That was for work, but okay, there you go.

That was for work?

Yeah, and bigger things from that.

But yeah, so over 40 years, I worked on, golly, tank ammunition, artillery ammunition, medium cal, small cal, worked on a pile of different things.

I worked on fuses, worked on rockets.

Oh, wow.
