A history detour from the usual hunting and gear content: a solo deep-dive into the Free Banking Era of 1800s America, when thousands of state-chartered banks printed their own currency of wildly varying trustworthiness. The episode traces the origin of "wildcat banks", often deliberately built in remote locations to make redeeming notes nearly impossible, through to the National Banking Acts that ended the era, and finally to how the term survived as "wildcatting" in the American oil industry. Closes with an open question about dowsing/water witching. Presented by AllyMunitions.com
A live-stream Q&A session covering bipod and Arca rail setup philosophy across hunting, precision, and semi-auto rifles, followed by a candid breakdown of why pre-orders get avoided entirely and why so many talented custom rifle builders struggle on the business side. The conversation closes with an unfiltered take on "drop culture" and internet gun-influencer communities, and how much of that world functions more like art and photography than actual shooting. Presented by AllyMunitions.com
The first installment of "Wade's News," a roundup of the biggest stories in the hunting world. Covers Texas's withdrawn (but likely returning) mountain lion mandatory harvest reporting proposal, Oregon's controversial IP 28 ballot initiative and its potential impact on hunting, fishing, and ranching, the U.S. Department of the Interior's proposed expansion of hunting and fishing access across federal lands, an ongoing federal review of lead ammunition restrictions, and a West Texas land manager's 2026 Conservationist of the Year award. Presented by AllyMunitions.com
An in-depth, start-to-finish walkthrough of how Ally Munitions builds a load, from market research and projectile selection through powder testing, extreme heat and cold testing, barrel break-in standards, quality control checks, and final packaging. The team explains why they only test using real factory rifles rather than barrel jigs, how they set precision standards for each product line (Coyotero, Premier, Goat), and what actually happens when a batch doesn't meet spec. A candid look at what separates boutique ammo development from mass production. Presented by AllyMunitions.com
A listener Q&A episode tackling one of the most common questions in predator hunting: is there a single cartridge that kills both coyotes and hogs effectively across 75-300 yards? The host breaks down why coyotes and hogs demand fundamentally different projectile performance, recommends the 6.5 Creedmoor 95gr V-Max or 6mm Creedmoor 87gr V-Max as the closest compromise, and walks through optimal hog shot placement, including why the neck and high shoulder are actually poor shot locations. Presented by AllyMunitions.com
A wide-ranging conversation with Jeff Wludyka (known professionally as Jeff Williams) of MTE Machining, a retired Special Forces sniper turned precision rifle builder and barrel manufacturer. The episode covers his path from 20 years in Army Special Forces to launching a gunsmithing business, the philosophy behind cutting AR-15 barrels for real precision work, the upcoming "No Shift" upper designed to solve AR handguard point-of-impact shift, and how AI tools have become a functional extra employee for a small manufacturing business. The conversation closes with a great father-son mule deer hunting story and a rundown of current thermal and clip-on night vision recommendations.

A first-look breakdown of the Vortex Ace Wind Meter and how it fits into Vortex's growing Geoballistics ecosystem alongside the Talon 10K/12K binoculars and Razor 4000GB rangefinder. The host covers real-time profile syncing across devices, why the Ace costs more than a typical wind meter, and how he actually uses wind meters in a hunting context versus PRS competition shooting. A deeper dive episode on the Ace and Talon lineup is coming soon. Presented by AllyMunitions.com
An in-depth 2026 update on the 22 ARC cartridge from Ally Munitions, covering extensive testing across factory loads (Hornady's 62gr ELD-VT, 75gr ELD-M, and 88gr ELD-M), barrel length and grain weight correlations, gas port tuning philosophy for AR-15 platforms, and a detailed investigation into a broken-tip issue traced back to improperly tuned rifles. The episode also previews three upcoming 22 ARC ammo offerings from Ally Munitions. Presented by AllyMunitions.com
