    TPH 213: The 22 ARC Fact Sheet: Gas Systems, Buffers, and Barrel Life

    2026/09/22 | 50 mins.
    A deep technical breakdown of 22 ARC gas system tuning on AR-15 platforms, covering why the cartridge's higher port pressure accelerates gas port erosion compared to 6 ARC, why intermediate-length gas systems and smaller gas ports outperform the trend toward longer rifle-length systems, twist rate recommendations (1:7 as the sweet spot), barrel cleaning regimens specific to 22 ARC's overbore characteristics, and buffer weight/spring recommendations for flow-through suppressor setups. Includes an open offer to barrel manufacturers for free collaborative testing. Presented by AllyMunitions.com

    12 Minute Talk: Wildcat Banks: The Wild West of American Currency

    2026/09/17 | 12 mins.
    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

    TPH 212: Live Q&A: Bipods, Arca Rails, and Why We Never Do Pre-Orders

    2026/09/15 | 56 mins.
    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.

    TPH 211: Inside Ally Munitions

    2026/09/08 | 1h 43 mins.
    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
