Wolf Precision's Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast

The 6.5 short action calibers...this is where most of the separation starts when it comes to the line in the sand for big game. In the US, it is considered unethical by some. In Europe, it is the number one moose caliber used. What is the difference? We will let you be the judge as we make the case as to why this is such a great caliber for new, young, or recoil sensitive shooters. It's about shot...

In this episode we dive into the 6mm calibers.   Often thought of the next big step when growing a young or new shooter.  This caliber is very capable for medium to big game given the right distance and bullet combo.  Again, our focus is improving the accuracy of the shooter and the enjoyment of their experience with the rifle. Big news,  we want to give something nice away for all those attending...

So you want to shoot better?   We start into the 22 Creedmoor and use our new rating system to run the numbers for you, the hunter or shooter.   We also touch base on some new video hosting policies and introduce you to our new Wolf Pack.  Thank you Ken A for a great rating system we are going to use.  Please reach out to us for some really cool swag we would like to send your way. Caliber Rating...

I thought this was a great interview with Derick. It was not planned and not recorded to be one, but in the end Derick ask if he could post it.   Of course, I said yes.   Derick attended our shooting school in March of 2024 and purchased a custom rifle featuring the ACE from us last year.  He is not only a great guy, but a Veteran and former Drill Sergeant. Both of which I have a lot of respect fo...

So let's talk numbers.   Although I am going to share with you my opinions on all the different calibers going forward, the numbers never lie.  In this episode I want to share with you a recoil calculator that I find to be an invaluable tool while trying to build a rifle, select your caliber or even when selecting a bullet.   This tool gives you a chance to change just a couple little things and s...

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 sma...

Let's start small.  At least as small as you can legally shoot for hunting in most states.  We are going to kick this series off with the small .224 calibers you can choose from.  The 22 Hornet, 222 Rem and the .223 Rem.   This is not a list of ideas. This is a list of killing-capable calibers for deer- sized game and below.   I know this from experience as my Grandfather and my family has hunted...

I want to share with you, from my humble opinion formed over nearly 2 decades of training people on the fundamentals of marksmanship, the #1 way to improve your shooting abilities, your groups and your shot placement.  This really is the #1 way to hone and sharpen your fundamentals.  Go with .................................!

Legend has it that many sailors have been hypnotized by the sweet song of the sirens, causing them to crash their boats into rocks and land.  But first, sailors need to venture into siren territory before the sweet sound can grace their ears and their hearts, luring them into a fate with reckless abandonment. We are shooters, not sailors, but the song is still sung for our ears and our hearts.  It...

In this episode I would like to share with you personally why I have worked so hard in documenting our shooting school to put online and to share.  This is the story of Wolf Precision and Jamie Dodson as we grew through the years in our ability to do and eventually teach. Now, as I get older I would like to document all that we have learned to share and live forever.  Even after I am long gone, I...

One of my first experiences trying to get into long range match shooting was something that I think a lot of us have experienced.  You show up to play the game then are belittled or looked down upon because you can't afford the name brand or custom equipment that others can.  I have personally experienced being judged and left feeling like I shouldn't be there because I can't afford to play the ga...

The shooting season has begun and so have the schools.  With over 15 years of teaching on the firing line, the things we learn and see often have a great value to those planning on doing such events in the future.  Especially those who are getting ready to experience a class for the first time.  Regardless the class or the location, here are some things that are already standing out this season an...

In this episode, we discuss at length, carbon fiber barrels...the good, the bad and truly how do you make a decision.  Everyone building a custom rifle wants a great looking rifle.  Should you choose carbon for that reason?  What about a match or long range rifles, would it make a good choice there as well? I have this conversation every week with customers.  I really want to share with you my per...

We are excited to invite Bruce Thom from BAT Machine Co. back on to the show talk about their new release, the Hammerhead.  Known for being one of the very best actions made, this new model is in my mind the pinnacle of what a tactical action could be in both quality, design and of course accuracy.  Join us on our conversation with Bruce about the newest release and his insight into making world c...

So, you have your hunting rifle or match rifle ready for the season and now it is time to practice.  This is a fork in the road for most shooters.  Hunting rifles often are expensive to shoot and have more recoil than most would enjoy for a full day at the range.  Match rifles are made for shooting, but we often hold back because of the expense of the ammo, reloading components or simply you do no...

The art of self-reliance is often talked about in the prepping world for sure.  But what about a marksman, shooter or budding competitor. Can you take care of your own rifle?   Can you rebuild it if needed?   Can you make repairs and do the maintenance needed to keep it in its best shooting condition?   Now let's talk about being a well rounded shooter.  Can you make your own ammunition?  Can you...

We kick the new year off talking about the importance of bedding and more importantly, the importance of the tang.  We are teaching bedding to a new team member and the conversations about bedding and its importance and use really went into the bushes.  From the reasons being different for todays chassis over yesteryears wooden stocks to the emphasis on the unsung and what I think one of the most...

We have some exciting news on new programs, classes and memberships you can join for 2024.   From the Wolf Pack Shooting Team to a new Graduation Day for our online school attendees, we have lots of news to share.  Some of the new programs coming out include online advanced courses along with 1 and 2 range days for free per year here at out facility. We are thankful to have you join us this year a...

In all the years of shooting I have learned a valuable lesson.  Shooting is a lot like flying in the sense that the recoil is a lot like turbulence.   If you have a lot of it, you better be a very skilled pilot.  Why, because you will be fighting it and correcting for its influence constantly.  It can scare you, it will fatigue you and even make you want to call it quits (once you are on the groun...

In this podcast, we want to talk about the top reasons some might not think reloading is for them. We talk about the pros, cons and concepts some of which are misguided and some just plain wrong for new reloaders.  If you love to shoot, whether for hunting or competition, you need to listen to this podcast.  It might change your mind and shed some light on why you cannot afford to wait.   This mig...

Because it's all about that ACE, 'bout that ACE - no trouble.  Okay, trying to be a little funny here.  But, on the last part of this series, "The Story of the Ace," it truly is about making the ACE at volume and at exceptionally high accuracy.  This is no small feat, to say the least, separating yourself from the accepted machines and machining practices and looking to the aerospace industry.  If...

The closest I have come to being arrested in Washington DC working on our patent.  The story of the ACE Chamber System, part II.  So I want to cover some of the developments and my experiences working with and winning patents, two on the ACE Chamber System under our belt and a third in process.  I just want to share with you how we did it and why.  This is the behind the scenes look and discussion...

Would you spend over a million dollars developing a more accurate rifle.  The story of the ACE Chamber System.  In this mutli part series we want to share with you the process, trials, and tribulations of developing a product for the rifle that never existed before in an effort to make the perfect shooting rifle.  This is part one of the series and the start of our story and the history of the ACE...

In this episode, we go into the deep end on rifle barrels.   There is so much more here than meets the eye and the more you know, the more you want to know.  This is a working component of the rifle that will either allow your rifle to shoot to it's full potential or rob your rifle's other components of the glory they should be realizing.  Make no mistake about it, it is that important.  I think w...
