The Texas Predator Hunting Podcast

A listener Q&A episode tackling one of the most common questions in predator hunting: is there a single cartridge that kills both coyotes and hogs effectively across 75-300 yards? The host breaks down why coyotes and hogs demand fundamentally different projectile performance, recommends the 6.5 Creedmoor 95gr V-Max or 6mm Creedmoor 87gr V-Max as the closest compromise, and walks through optimal hog shot placement, including why the neck and high shoulder are actually poor shot locations.

A wide-ranging conversation with Jeff Wludyka (known professionally as Jeff Williams) of MTE Machining, a retired Special Forces sniper turned precision rifle builder and barrel manufacturer. The episode covers his path from 20 years in Army Special Forces to launching a gunsmithing business, the philosophy behind cutting AR-15 barrels for real precision work, the upcoming "No Shift" upper designed to solve AR handguard point-of-impact shift, and how AI tools have become a functional extra employee for a small manufacturing business. The conversation closes with a great father-son mule deer hunting story and a rundown of current thermal and clip-on night vision recommendations. Presented by AllyMunitions.com

A first-look breakdown of the Vortex Ace Wind Meter and how it fits into Vortex's growing Geoballistics ecosystem alongside the Talon 10K/12K binoculars and Razor 4000GB rangefinder. The host covers real-time profile syncing across devices, why the Ace costs more than a typical wind meter, and how he actually uses wind meters in a hunting context versus PRS competition shooting. A deeper dive episode on the Ace and Talon lineup is coming soon. Presented by AllyMunitions.com

An in-depth 2026 update on the 22 ARC cartridge from Ally Munitions, covering extensive testing across factory loads (Hornady's 62gr ELD-VT, 75gr ELD-M, and 88gr ELD-M), barrel length and grain weight correlations, gas port tuning philosophy for AR-15 platforms, and a detailed investigation into a broken-tip issue traced back to improperly tuned rifles. The episode also previews three upcoming 22 ARC ammo offerings from Ally Munitions. Presented by AllyMunitions.com

A behind-the-scenes look at how Ally Munitions approaches 22 ARC ammunition development for AR-15 platforms. Wade breaks down the 1,600 fps velocity threshold used as a baseline for projectile performance, why chasing the highest ballistic coefficient isn't always the right call for hunting ammo, and how starting velocity, barrel length, and realistic hunting ranges all factor into projectile selection. The promised "fact sheet" turns into a broader philosophy talk. Presented by AllyMunitions.com
