BangSteel Long Range Shooting Podcast

New batches of Federal Gold Medal Match are showing some bad extreme spreads of velocity. There are two version of FGMM now? Yes, so it appears. And, let's talk about the situation with Iran. Is it going to settle down now? Or get worse? Time will tell. We talk about these and other things on tonight's show. We hope you'll tune in. :)

We have Jake Porter of Triton Arms (Remington tech) with us tonight, and we discuss many things. The Israel vs. Iran war... Is America already involved (yes, definitely)... and we take plenty of time to talk over our common passion of knives. We hope you'll all tune in! :)

We believe these rioters in LA should be shot dead if they're throwing bricks and rocks at police and military. Shot. Dead. Not. Kidding. That'll stop this nonsense. But... who is funding these rioters (many are being paid, and paid a LOT)... we'll talk about this. And, was the Trump-Musk feud staged for political or agenda gain? It's looking more and more like exactly that. We'll talk about this and more on this week's show. We hope you'll listen in. :)

As the title indicates, this is a solo podcast to let you guys know we hope to be on the air tomorrow evening (Tuesday, June 10th) with a normal show. Forest is out with a sore throat bug, and can't do the show tonight. We'll be back as soon as possible! Thank you for your patience. 

We have Jake Porter, Remington technician with us tonight (in person, yes!) and we learn a lot about the design, the triggers, and more. We hope you'll tune in. :)

Can the "easy button" Extreme Long Range rifle be helpful in patriot work in times of need? Yes--we believe so. And, do the current roster of suppressor (silencer) makers secretly hope the Hearing Protection Act fails? Perhaps. :o  And, why all the hate for the 6.5 Creedmoor all of a sudden? We'll explain. All this, and more on this week's show. We hope you'll tune in! :)

We had a great private weekend class, with good and generous friends. We came home with a large bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label, and some 12 year Redbreast.  We talk about long range shooting, wind calling, knifes and knife sharpening... and more. :)

So the city of Dallas appears to have been handed over to the sodomites (?) ... yeah, correct us on this if need be, but last week there was a real MESS!  And, Vortex scope fail out of the box... and the Leupold "broke-back" country scope base (avoid)... and more. We hope you'll tune in. :)

Another session with James Files, CIA assassin.  Very insightful, to say the least. And, how do we make a reliable ballistic drop chart? We tell you... and, when the 308 beats the 6.5... momentum! ;)

We have as our special guest friend, client, and brother in Christ Jim Scott. Jim is a personal friend of James Files, who has stated publicly for years that he was the main shooter in the JFK assassination in November of 1963. Mr.Files joins us by phone during this show, and share some fascinating information (to say the least). We hope you'll enjoy. :)

How many guns does a guy (or gal) really need? And, do you really need gadgets of all description to be a good rifleman? No, we don't think so... We have our good friend and excellent rifleman Jason C with us on this show, and we cover various topics of interest--we hope you'll tune in and enjoy the show. :)

Our good friend from The Big Apple is with us tonight. We discuss the events of the day at the range, and other topics.Glock is dropping production of 40S&W and .357Sig pistols. Huh? And, Berger factory 6.5 Creedmoor ammo may be the best of all factory rounds for that chamberng. (Check it out)...And...  Toyota is making a 10,000 dollar pick-up? Wow!Colonel Ron sits in on this show as well. We hope you'll tune in. :)

What is a "hangfire?" And how do you treat the rifle when a hangfire occurs? This was happening during our weekend class of 12 shooters with a British Enfield shooting 1968 surplus ammo (not his class rifle, just a fun on the side gun).And the 1911 pistol; why is it more popular than ever? There are reasons... :)And the Mossberg Shockwave? How did this firearm come to be? 

Does foot pounds of energy actually correlate to stopping power on big game? (perhaps not)... and, do you know how to use the rain to your advantage on long range shots? We'll talk about it. Are you having rusting issues with your firearms? Let's discuss some remedies. All this and more on tonight's show. We hope you'll tune in. :)

The "beater" rifle... worth having around? Yes, it certainly is; we'll explain. The ATF is being cut by 30 to 40 percent! And is ELR (extreme long range) shooting practical? Or just fun? We'll knock the idea around a bit on this show. And, will the boycotters be able to hurt Tesla? We were shocked to find out how large Tesla is on a global scale. These and other topics on tonight's show. We hope you'll tune in. :)

It could be that the Chairman Biden pardons are not valid, as they were apparently signed with "autopen" and not actually signed by him personally. We'll have to see. And, can you really put together a long range rifle package for under 1000 dollars ?Yes--and we'll talk about one option currently on the market.And what about these deep-state activist judges? Would it be best for Trump to simply ignore their rulings (if unconstitutional)? We believe so, yes. 

Can a man be gay and also a Christian (hear us out, we do believe this is possible)... and the 7mmSWC (Sherman Wildcat Cartridge)--will it displace the 6mm Dasher (we don't think so, and we'll tell you why)... and, does our  entire school system need an overhaul? (We believe so, yes)... and more. We hope you'll tune in. :)

We received a letter from a State Department operative who has been a client for a couple of year. We were happily stunned to see what he said, and it's so nice to know that our training in this particular case literally saved lives. We're overwhelmed with gratitude, we truly are. And, we discuss the amazing Tikka T3X rifle... and "wet mounting" scopes. What is it, and is it necessary? All this and more on tonight's show. We hope you'll listen in. :)

...

Has the globalist cabal been trying to poison us for decades now? It could be the case. The truth is on the way... And, can the .223 Remington make a 1000 yard shot? It can; we'll tell you now. And what is wrong with these presumed former Navy SEALS? Are these dude for real? Or, are they merely fake SEALS, trotted out for the purposes of deception? 

It's just me (Dan) and The Cheese for this last minute random episode. We discuss the price gouging practices of Hodgdon Powder, potential alternatives, and more. We review Angel's Envy and Fiddller's Unison whiskey options. Just random conversation between two old friends.We hope you'll tune in. :)

We talk about DOGE and the quickly changing scene in Washington. And, how does our 4-6-9 trajectory system work? We'll go over it. And, what is a YouTube whore? This is something we should all learn to recognize, and avoid these channels. And, is there any gold left in Fort Knox? DOGE will be checking, we are told. 

Is there a "sweet spot" of total rifle weight that would allow you to spot impacts downrange? We talk about this. And, what kind of a trainwreck did we witness for a Superbowl half-time show? :o  And, group size to judge a rifle and load... (where does the ability of the shooter come into this?? ) ... All of this and more in tonight's show. We hope you'll tune in. :)

We discuss the Accuracy International 338 Norma Magnum... and, "wet scope mounting"... yeah or nay(?) ... And, is your rifle field servicable or do you need "propreitary" tools? (not a good idea)...  and, steel head cases(?) Here to stay, or not?

The 7mm "Broke-back Mountain Country" is a JOKE.. and as we told you, the 22 Creedmoor is a JOKE. THe  277 "Furry" is a JOKE...  and, new esoterica knife steels are JOKES... We need to stop falling for marketing propaganda. There isn't much new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9)...

Should you try various long range shooting schools to enhance your skill set? Possibly--but possibly not; it depends on the quality of the school--and you have to know what you're needing, and what your'e not needing. President Trump is in power again! Let's hope (and pray) for the administration, and the country.Should you have a spare rifle scope for your main rifle? Yes--and we'll explain why, and how to set that scope up.We talk about these and other things on tonight's show. We hope you'll tune in!

Just a short bonus podcast, solo (just Dan)...

If your PRS rifle is good for nothing but competition, you're a soap-box-derby racer and nothing more. If you're fielding something that's no good for anything other than PRS competitions, it's worse than useless for actual riflecraft. 

Folks, don't fall for the deep state cabal and their CIA house organ's narrative. Sarah Adams, the "Shoe" dude, and no doubt Shawn Ryan are part of the deception squad. Don't fall for this stuff! And, the latest didn't-need-to-happen 7mm cartridge is the "Backcountry"... Terry. :D  What a joke. :/ And, do you have "fetish" knives, meaning expensive tool knives that you just won't use for fear of making a scratch, Terry?  :D 

Which cartridge is preferable? The 6.5 Grendel or the 6mm ARC? And how can you spot a tranny? It's a useful skill, we'll talk about it! And look out for the Bird Flu HOAX (it's coming!) ... and don't take their idiotic "vaccines"... and what are some good choices for a .357 Magnum revolver?  We hope you'll tune in! :)

Trump has said there will be no "trans-genders" in the military, and no trannies in women's sports. :) Donaldus Magnus, yes. Listen and celebrate, or listen and weep. ;) ... and, the Ruger Precision Rifle has quickly become an iconic piece of Americana... And, how does the 38 Special continue in popularity? We'll tell you.  And... are the globalists poisoning your food? Probably, but you can defeat them easily (We'll tell you how)... all this and more in tonight's show. We hope you'll tune in! :)

Did you know that most of the drones we're seeing in skies over America are the military PteroDynamics XP series drones? (What are they looking for? :o )... and these balls of light, spiraling in the sky, chasing their comet-looking tails like puppies... WTH? What are they??  Perhaps another psyop, or... perhaps Fallen Angels (read your Bible)... And we discuss barrel break-in procedures and many other things on tonight's show. We hope you'll tune in! :)

Hodgdon is the number one reason powder costs are through the roof (and don't let their emissaries lie to you; we will explain)... and HHS (the Hut Hut Syndrome) in long range shooting school curriculums (a disaster)... and the staying powder of Leupold (an American and global icon). We've got The Cheese with us tonight again! We hope you'll tune in! 

The "tranny" US Navy SEAL.. (yeah, we wish this was a bogus story but it's not, unfortunately)... And the "trans-kid" fad (this is child abuse)... and the "My uncle showed me this" syndrome (we're sick of this crap,and calling these 'tards out)... And the Chairman pardons his miscreant son (and himself).We've got The Cheese tonight, and have a great show. We hope you'll listen in! L)

What are the pros and cons with suppressors and muzzle brakes? We discuss this. And, did American rocket scientists get us to the moon? Or were the real brains from another country? (You'll likely be surprised)... and Bergara is now offering barreled premium actions and unbarreled actions--a good option for a custom rilfe, we believe. We talk about these things and more on this weeks show. We hope you'll listen in. :)

We discuss the cheating liberals and their actions in Pennsylvania, Arizona, and elsewhere. And, how can you get your deer rifle to shoot more accurately? We'll tell you! And, is a combat experiences rifleman more likely to shoot better in a "gorilla warfare" situation? Maybe, but maybe not. ;)  We hope you'll tune in, and as always, let us know what you think. :) bangsteel@fastmail.com

What are the most reliable bolt action rifles? Which ones are likely to give you the most trouble? We talk about this. And, how things are changing--really fast--in the wake of Trump's victory. Also, what media sources have come out on top in this most recent election? Is the legacy media done for? What about the pollsters? Can they be relied upon? (NO!)... all this and more in this week's show. We hope you'll tune in. :)

We discuss the significance of the Trump victory, and what it likely means for the future of America, and the world. We showcase liberal meltdowns, and discuss the severity of mental illness that plagues the modern day liberal. All this and more; check it out! :)

What is the difference between the "letter of the law" and the "spirit of the law"(?)... and, can the 308 Winchester hit targets one mile away? Yes! ;) ... we talk about the election in America, and   responses to theft and fraud. This, and much more. We hope you'll listen in! :)

As a freedom loving rifleman, you need to strive to be your best between 400 and 800 yards (we'll tell you why)... and, what's an AP round? (armor piercing, yes)... We discuss the top 5 distractions we see that plague long range shooters, and the three primary categories that most of our clients fall into (we love you ALL, of course)... and more. :)

So, is there actually a difference between MOA and "inches per hundred yards?" (yes)... and what about MIL versus MRAD? Is there a difference? (yes, but it's miniscule)... And, do you actually "true" a ballistic chart or do you rather "plot" that chart once you find it. (Yeah, sounds complicated, but give this episode a listen and see what you think). :)

How much is "enough gun"(?) ... How much is "too much gun"(?) We discuss this. And, what rifle or handgun would you want in your hands if you found yourself in a total societal breakdown? (Let us know!) ... And, the democrats are eating their own, media and old school dems turn on Kamala Harris. We hope you'll tune in! :)

The actual purpose of "FEMA" has been revealed--and it's not good. :(  They do not exist to help the American people in the aftermath of a disaster, even though many of their employees likely believe this... We talk about the devastation of hurricane Helene in the western Carolina and eastern Tennessee areas... And, what sort of rifle cartridge might you need for an extreme range "high value" target? What are the "best practices" for hitting such a target? :) We discuss these and other things in this week's show. We hope you'll tune in! :) 

We truly enjoyed this round-table with some good friends from around the country. We talk politics and rifles, and politics and whiskey. We hope you'll join us! 

Lee Harvey Griswald's SKS is beyond laughable (look it up)... this rifle could not have fired an accurate shot... Fake FBI "meme police"... (totally retarded)... Which is better, the .270 Winchester or the 30-06? And, the dems know they're losing--and they are desperate. 

The latest "Lee Harvey Griswald" has the same odd last name as the guy who presumably shot Chris Kyle. Coincidence? No, not with the deeps, never a coincidence. We talk about the 220 Swift and the 22-250, pros and cons, and .22 Long Rifle training rifles (which models are best)... and more. We hope you'll tune in. :)

Let's talk about constructing bullet drop charts... and how badly Kamala Harris is failing... and the Beretta 92 and the idiocy of the new "woke" US military... and Bulleit bourbon... and PBR (Pabst Blue Ribbon)... and more. We hope you'll tune in! :) 

Venezualan gangs have taken over apartment buildings in Aurora, Colorado. "Migrant" gangs are pillaging suburban areas of Denver (presumably, the news is often fake)... so how should these issues be handled? We talk about scope base and ring selection, and a recently discovered issue with the factory base on Ruger American rifles. And, the push-back against "wokeism" in big companies is really taking hold. 

What is wrong with us, America? We are drowning in pointless paranoia. There is a Way out! (We'll tell you about it)... And, we discuss the 7mm PRC vs. the 7mm Remington Magnum... and "belted magnums" (where and how did this start?) ... And, how did John Browning come up with the 50 BMG (you might be surprised!) ... We talk about these and other things on this week's show. We hope you'll tune in. :)

We'll explain why the mighty 50 BMG remains the extreme long range beast to buy... and is Monkeypox really Sodompox? (could be)... The Democrat convention is a trainwreck, with pro-Palestinians overrunning the barricades. :D  Some preps to pick up: Engine Crane... bulk 15w40 motor oil (Tractory Supply Traveller brand is very inexpensive)... and more. We hope you guys and gals tune in. :)

The Cheese is with us tonight! :) And... did  we see a Nightforce scope fail? Maybe, maybe not...  And, what's with all of the bogus number chasing in long range shooting? Why not just shoot for real, and record actual rather then theoretical results? Yeah. And, Trump is back on Twitter (X)... in a new interview with Elon Musk which should be interesting to hear.We talk about these things, and many others on tonight's show. We hope you'll tune in! :)
