The Texas Predator Hunting Podcast

listener Logan V. asks whether to rebarrel his Tikka T3X into a 22 Creedmoor or 6 Creedmoor for predators, mule deer and potentially elk, shooting factory only, 18 inch barrel, suppressed, proficient to 600 yards. Wade breaks down why things have changed since the original 2023 podcast, what Hornady's factory ammo support means for both cartridges, and why the elk question tips the scales toward the 6 Creed. Plus, what being proficient to 600 yards actually requires from a marksmanship standpoint. 22 Creedmoor and 6 Creedmoor ammo available at allymunitions.com.

Amantine joins Wade for a wide-ranging conversation, Anthony's Panamanian roots, growing up on a US military base, his dad's 21 years of service from Vietnam to Desert Storm and Operation Just Cause, a TCU track scholarship, and how he ended up in the night vision and thermal world. Plus, why shot placement is the real problem nobody wants to admit, 22 Creedmoor troubleshooting, the Oklahoma wildfire community response, and why daytime coyote hunting still beats everything.

12 Minute Talk: Over 90% of AR-15 barrels coming through Ally Munitions have burrs around the gas port on the inside of the barrel. Wade breaks down why this matters, what it's doing to your gas system over time, why barrel manufacturers need to start chamfering their gas ports, and exactly what you should do with every new barrel before you build. Plus, why Proof Research has figured it out when others haven't. Full gas port deep dive podcast coming soon. Visit allymunitions.com for inspected and vetted barrels, ammo & gear.
