  • 362: 45-70 vs 308 Winchester Caliber Comparison
    Mar 13 2025

    Today we’re going to talk about two completely different rounds: the 45-70 Government and the 308 Winchester. Comparing these two cartridges is a great example of how a person who doesn’t know any better can get a wildly distorted view of how two cartridges compare to each other by simply looking at their performance on paper. We’ll discuss the overall design characteristics and performance specs of each round then compare how they stack up next to each other. I’ll also cover how they each perform in some ballistic gel tests and discuss the situations where each one excels.

  • 361: Wyoming Horseback Elk Hunt with Hunter McWaters
    Mar 6 2025

    I got the chance to sit down with Hunter McWaters from The Hunter’s Quest in this episode. We discussed how he got interested in western hunting along with the story of a cool, horseback elk hunt he went on in Wyoming during 2024. Hunter lives in Virginia, so his tale may seem familiar to those of you who from that part of the country who are interested in breaking into the western hunting world.

Great info

Like the simplistic information laid out for the most novice person, both hunting and shooting. Excited to hear the host lives nearby here in the piney woods of east Texas.
