| Episode 75 - Casting and Reloading For The 44 Special | 15 Dec 2025 | 00:41:29 | |
In this episode of The Shooter’s Apprentice Podcast, Daniel sits down to dive deep into one of the coolest wheelguns Ruger ever produced — the GP100 chambered in .44 Special. Whether you’re a revolver nerd, a handloader, or just a fan of classic big-bore cartridges, this episode delivers a breakdown of why the .44 Special is still a awesome all around cartridge. We also get into one of Daniel’s favorite parts of the shooting life: casting bullets and reloading. You’ll hear firsthand experiences with molds, alloy selection, powder choices, load development, and what actually performs in the 44 special. Whether you’re new to bullet casting or a longtime reloader, this segment lays out the real-world process, the mistakes, the victories, and the satisfaction of rolling your own perfect .44 Special loads. From mild cowboy-level plinkers to warm defensive loads, we break down how versatile the .44 Special can be and why it’s still beloved by shooters who appreciate its accuracy, controllability, and character. If you love revolvers… if you love the smell of hot brass and cast lead… or if you’re just curious why so many shooters are rediscovering the .44 Special, you’re in the right place. Tune in, grab your favorite wheelgun, and let’s get into it. Be sure to check out our supporters!

What's going on everybody, welcome back to The Shooters Apprentice Podcast.

If you enjoy collecting firearms on a budget you will want to hear this one! On this episode we touch on the three purchases I made featuring a Rossi 44 magnum pistol, a Kimber 338 Win Mag rifle and a Colt 1917 project chambered for 357 Magnum.

| Episode 73 - Lever Action 45/70 Loads | 01 Dec 2025 | 00:34:06 | |
Big bore nostalgia meets modern hand loading in this week’s episode. I dig into the world of lever-action .45-70s—why this century-old cartridge still sings true for hunters, shooters, and romantics alike. I also get into the reloader’s rabbit hole: developing heavy .45-70 loads specifically for lever actions, the quirks that separate them from trapdoor-safe ammo, pressure considerations, bullet selection, and chasing performance in a levergun. And to top it off, I share first impressions of my newest toy—the Henry .45-70—how it handles, what surprised me, and where it fits in the stable. Smooth actions, big bore thumps, and the kind of grin-inducing shooting that leaves a bruise and a memory. If you like wood and steel, reloading benches, and cartridges that existed before your great-grandfather, this one’s for you. | |||
| Episode 72 - Taking A Step Back | 24 Nov 2025 | 00:48:57 | |
Sometimes you’ve just gotta slow down and shoot the breeze—and that’s exactly what we do in this episode. We break down a few recent firearm acquisitions, talk through what’s coming next, and dive into the chaos of moving my reloading gear over to the trucking shop. If you’re into guns, gear, and good conversation, this is your kind of episode. Also be sure to checkout and subscribe to my youtube channel as follow me on instagram!

| Episode 71 - Smith & Wesson 610 Mountain Gun | 12 Nov 2025 | 00:39:09 | |
In this episode of The Shooter’s Apprentice Podcast, Daniel dives deep into the history, design, and evolution of one of Smith & Wesson’s most beloved revolvers — the Mountain Gun. From its origins in the late 1980s to the brand-new 2025 re-release in 10mm, this episode covers it all. You’ll hear how top shooters like Tom Campbell and Ross Seyfried helped shape the concept, why the Mountain Gun became a backcountry favorite, and how it’s earned a cult following among revolver fans to this day. Daniel also shares personal stories about his own Mountain Guns — from vintage .44 Magnums to the brand-new 610 — and what makes each one special. Along the way, you’ll get updates from the range, a few new gun pickups, and a mid-show word from our friends at Simply Rugged Holsters and Skinner Sights. If you love revolvers, old-school craftsmanship, and stories from the trail, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. 🎧 Topics Covered:

| Episode 70 - Springfield Woes - Range Officer 9mm | 18 Aug 2025 | 00:37:59 | |
In this episode of The Shooter’s Apprentice Podcast, Daniel dives deep into the ongoing saga of his Springfield Range Officer 1911 in 9mm — a gun he wanted to love, but that had other plans. From out-of-the-box disappointment to DIY tuning trials, it’s been a long road of spring swaps, trigger jobs, grip mods, and match-day letdowns. But through the frustration came hard-earned lessons in setting up a single stack gun for USPSA the right way… and sometimes the wrong way first. Daniel shares everything — the tech specs, the problems, the fixes, the mental game, and what finally (maybe) made this gun run right. If you’ve ever had a gun fight you every step of the way, this one’s for you. 📦 Plus:

| Episode 69 - Snub-Nose Evolution | 22 Jul 2025 | 00:49:13 | |
In this episode of The Shooter’s Apprentice, we’re diving deep into the gritty, no-nonsense world of the snub-nosed revolver. From smoky jazz bars and trench coats to front pockets and ankle rigs, the snubby has carved out a lasting legacy. You’ll hear the history of how the snub-nosed revolver came to be, what made the J-frame so iconic, and how my own journey with pocket carry went from “no way” to “never leave home without it.” I’ll also break down some of the key models, talk ammo choices, gear setups, and how my wife’s Taurus Model 85 led me down a rabbit hole that ended with a S&W 340 in my pocket. We’ll finish with a challenge: take on the Snubby Super Test — and let me know what your favorite snub-nose is. 🔗 Mentioned in this episode:

| Episode 80 - Belt Mountain Base Pins | 19 Jan 2026 | 00:34:45 | |
What is going on everybody welcome back to The Shooters Apprentice Podcast! In this episode of The Shooter’s Apprentice Podcast we take a look at the Belt Mountain base pins for Ruger single-action revolvers make by Skinner Sights, what they are, why they exist, and whether they’re worth your money or just another shiny distraction. We’ll talk about why the factory base pin can become a weak point under heavy recoil, how base pin walk affects reliability, and why serious revolver shooters, hunters, handloaders, and hard-use field guys often upgrade this one small component before anything else. Sometimes the difference between a revolver that’s “fine at the range” and one you trust in the field comes down to a single piece of steel you never think about until it fails. We also talk about the budget Arasaka project and a few other things we have going on at the shop like bullet casting. Pull up a chair and lets hang out! Be sure to check out our supporters!
