Episode 269: Are You Destroying Your Barrel When You Clean It? | A Better Way to Clean Your Rifle
In Episode 269 of the Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie Dodson of Wolf Precision announces the winners of two slots to attend the Wolf Precision Long Range Shooting School and then dives into a topic that every shooter thinks they understand — cleaning your rifle barrel. What if the way most shooters clean their rifles is actually doing more harm than good? Jamie shares decades of experience from running the Wolf Precision shooting school, where rifles are fired and cleaned far more frequently than most shooters will ever experience. Through years of observation with borescopes and real-world testing, he explains how common cleaning practices — including the use of bronze and nylon brushes — can actually cause damage to the lands and grooves of a barrel. Jamie also discusses the real-world experience gained from cleaning thousands of barrels through decades of shooting school classes and how that experience led to a completely different way of thinking about barrel maintenance. If you've ever wondered whether you're cleaning your rifle the right way, this episode may change your entire approach.

Episode 268 - Making the case for the 22 ARC
n this episode of the Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie Dodson of Wolf Precision makes the case for the .22 ARC and why it may become one of the most versatile rifle cartridges available today. Jamie has long been a fan of the .22 Creedmoor, but after seeing early results from customers and testing new rifles built with the Gen 4 ACE system, the .22 ARC is proving to be an extremely compelling option for many shooters Jamie also previews upcoming videos where the team will swap chambers using the ACE system, rebuild the rifles on camera, and test the .22 ARC side-by-side against other popular cartridges out to 1,000 yards. If you're looking for a cartridge that delivers exceptional accuracy, low recoil, affordable ammunition, and excellent performance, the .22 ARC might be exactly what you've been waiting for.

Episode 267: The Tale of Two Shooters — Mastering the Mental Game
In this episode of the Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie shares lessons learned from the recent Moving Target Clinic in Swainsboro, Georgia. After spending several days watching shooters tackle challenging moving targets, one thing became very clear: success in shooting often comes down to mindset. Jamie breaks down the story of two very different shooters and how their approach to pressure, patience, and emotional control dramatically affected their performance on the firing line. From tiny moving targets at 400 yards to a challenging 1,000-yard balloon shot, the class provided powerful examples of how the mental side of shooting can make or break a shot. This episode explores: Why patience and timing matter when engaging moving targets How emotional highs and lows can sabotage your shooting The importance of detaching your ego from the shot Real stories from the firing line that illustrate the difference between reacting and executing Whether you're shooting movers, competing in matches, or simply trying to improve your marksmanship, this episode highlights one of the most important skills a shooter can develop: control of the mind behind the rifle. As always, Jamie also shares updates from Wolf Precision and reflects on the camaraderie and lessons learned from another outstanding class. Tune in and discover why sometimes the biggest difference between hitting and missing isn't the rifle—it's the mindset behind the trigger.

Episode 265: Do Barrel Tuners Really Work? Part II, a conversation with Erik Cortina
In this episode of the Wolf Precision Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie Dodson sits down with EriK Cortina, competitive shooter and creator of the Cortina Precision tuner system, to discuss one of the most debated accessories in precision rifle shooting, barrel tuners. Barrel tuners have become extremely popular in competitive shooting, particularly in F-Class and PRS circles. But what do they actually do? Are they shrinking groups, or simply changing barrel harmonics and recoil characteristics? Erik shares the story behind how he first started experimenting with tuners, the inspiration he took from the Browning BOSS system, and how early success in competition helped launch the tuner movement. The discussion dives into the real-world testing, tuning process, and the common misconceptions shooters have about what tuners can and can't do. In the end, the conversation lands on an honest conclusion: a barrel tuner is simply another tool in the toolbox. For some rifles and shooters it may offer an advantage, while for others it may make little difference. But like seating depth, powder charge, or bullet choice, it's another variable shooters can explore in the pursuit of smaller groups. Jamie closes the episode with final thoughts on tuners, how they may influence barrel harmonics, and why skill, fundamentals, and experience still matter more than any piece of equipment.

Episode 264: Barrel Tuners Explained — Do They Really Work? (Part 1)
In Episode 264 of the Wolf Precision Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie Dodson dives into a frequently asked questions at Wolf Precision schools and reloading classes: Do barrel tuners really work? This episode begins a two-part deep dive into barrel tuners, exploring the physics, theories, and real-world considerations behind these increasingly popular devices. Jamie breaks down: • What a barrel tuner actually does • The theory of barrel harmonics and vibration nodes • Why moving weight on the muzzle can influence accuracy • The historical origins of tuners, including the Browning BOSS system • The relationship between load development and harmonic nodes • How suppressors and muzzle brakes can affect barrel harmonics • The potential placebo effect when adding weight to the muzzle • A rarely discussed issue: barrel growth from heat and its effect on tuner settings As barrels heat during firing, they expand — potentially changing the exact tuner setting that was originally dialed in. Jamie explains how this thermal growth could influence tuner performance and why it raises interesting questions about real-world effectiveness. To keep the conversation fair and balanced, Jamie has also extended an open invitation to tuner manufacturer Eric Cortina to join the podcast and discuss his perspective on the technology. So, whether you're a competitive shooter, precision reloader, or rifle builder, this episode explores the science, theory, and practical realities behind barrel tuning systems.
