Wolf Precision's Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

The ACE in action, but not mentioned.  This podcast is a mix of business, industry, the ACE and changes.  We are proud of Derick and the work he has done. Derick was the first to ever hit the Cold Bore Shot Challenge and won the day at the Black Jack Challenge.  Great job on both!  Sadly, the ACE and Wolf Precision were edited from mention.  That said, great job and both are great channels to watch.

In this podcast we are also excited to have our new online store open and our 2025 shooting school dates open for registration. Also, be on the look out for 5 new rifle starter kits being posted Friday.  We think you will be both surprised and impressed.

This is as much a business podcast as it is a shooting podcast.   Our industry has so many secrets and back door dealings hidden from the public that at first glance seem, to most, harmless.  But make no mistake, it is a back door that will eventually close many businesses in the firearms industry.  I really recommend doing research when dealing with or looking for products from these industries and reward those who support our industry with your business. And, be sure to tell them the reason you choose them!  Thank you for supporting our shooting and manufacturing industry.

Look for our 2025 Long Range Shooting School dates being posted and open for registration August 30, 2024.

Setting the rules of the road.  So, we are going to advocate going with the smallest caliber you think you can get by with.  But how do you compare them?   What are the parameters or measurements you would use to quantify or qualify the results to get an accurate comparison?  This is how I am going to approach this and come up with a score.  This is all with a baseline of comparison shooting a small .224 caliber like the .223 Rem, 222 Rem or 22 Hornet.

Recoil Tolerance Score of 0-100:  How many people out of 100 can shoot 100 rounds through said rifle and enjoy each shot and would come back and come back to do another 100 rounds immediately afterwards like they could with a small .224 caliber?

Group Size Deterioration Score 0-100: How many people out of 100 could shoot said caliber without increasing their average group size by more than 50% when compared to what they could shoot with a .224 caliber? 

Fundamental Deterioration Threshold 0-100:  How many consecutive shots do I think the average person could shoot before fundamentals start to deteriorate?  I feel 99% of the shooting population could shoot up to 100 rounds with a small .224 caliber.

Accuracy Deterioration Score 0-100:  How many people out of 100 could maintain the same level of accuracy with this bigger caliber that they could achieve with a small .224 caliber?

In this episode we have a great conversation with Seth Swerczek of Hornady Manufacturing.  We talk about the history leading up to the new A-Tip match bullets and about the awesome 4-DOF program.  A great conversation giving us some insight in the making of world class bullets and a peak behind the scenes of one of America's leading bullet manufacturers.

In this episode we want to wish everyone a safe and Happy New Year.  We also want to touch base on why we love anything and everything outdoors.  It's about the adventures.  We are slowly turning into an indoor species and for many of us, myself included,  too much time indoors starts to feel like a life sucking prison.  We need the outdoors and the many kinds of adventures that await us there.  It is what fuels us, keeps us sharp and fills our souls and hearts with memories and the feeling of being alive. Live your life to the fullest, follow your calling and go and seek your adventure!

In this podcast we have the opportunity to interview Tom Danielson, a Co-Founder of Alpha Munitions. Alpha Munitions is an American company making world-class brass poised to best some of the greatest brass makers in the world.  We talk brass, shooting, industry, reloading, and about the 22 Creedmoor. 

In this episode we finally had a chance to bring Bruce Thom back on the show to talk about the new Ignitor and BumbleBee actions from Bat Machine.  In the world of machining and tool and die making, he is one of the masters and his passion for quality and the pursuit of perfection always shows.  A great interview with some neat insight to the behind the scenes and the making of the very best actions available today.
