I can hear some of you already, “hey Jack you big jerk, just read those bullet point below, three of em are pistol rounds”.  Simmer down there partner you will find examples of rifles firing all of them below.  And as we will discuss today, they are all in a way “different rounds” when fired from a rifle then when fired from your 4 inch wheel gun. Anyway I have been thinking that we have not done a lot of stuff on guns lately.  If you are new to firearms or new to ballistics and components you may want to … Continue reading →

I need a bit of a fun change up today after the recent server issues (which are now solved for a while) so I though I would break out with some lesser known rifle calibers.  In out current world shooting seems to revolve around the 223, 308, 30-06, 30-30 and a host of the magnums.  Sure there are quite a few 270s, 7mm-08s and 243’s out there too but what about the other roughly 500 cartridges, is there any place left for the oddball or the old classic that is no longer innovative? Join me today as we discuss… Why … Continue reading →

I don’t do a lot of firearms centric podcasts simply because there are a lot of great podcasts about guns and their use, training and customization.  Yet it is a major component to modern survival philosophy so today I attempt to bring some practicality to that subject. Today in the intro segment we discuss the 33 million dollar fine to Bank of America and why it pushishes their shareholders (whom it is supposed to protect) and doesn’t punish the company at all.  We also discuss a small group of senate democrats that recently stood up for the second amendment. On … Continue reading →
