In this episode, John McAdams sits down with Tyler Grethen, Marketing Director at Weatherby, for a comprehensive look at one of America's most storied firearm manufacturers. Tyler shares the fascinating history of Roy Weatherby — from door-to-door insurance salesman and garage tinkerer to creator of some of the fastest production cartridges ever made. They discuss the move from California to Wyoming, the legendary Mark V action (including the nine-lug, six-lug, and new short actions), the extremely popular Vanguard line, the innovative 307 series built on a Remington 700 footprint, as well as Weatherby's cartridge lineup and their loaded ammunition offerings.

Gunwriter Terry Wieland joins me on the show as we discuss his thoughts on the various .416 caliber cartridges: the 416 Rigby, the 416 Remington Magnum the 416 Weatherby Magnum, the 416 Ruger, and even the 416 Hoffman and the 416 Taylor. We talk about the pros and cons of those different rounds, which 416 he prefers over the others out of that bunch, how those 416s stack up against the various 375s and 458s for use on buffalo, why the 404 Jeffery was vastly more popular than the 416 Rigby for a long time, and why that eventually changed. We even discuss the development of the Ruger Safari Magnum rifle, the Trophy Bonded Bear Claw and several other things that massively changed the safari hunting industry during the 1980s and 1990s.

In Folge 138 spricht Seb mit Jörn Elsenbruch – Tätowierer, Unternehmer und eine der prägenden Stimmen der deutschen Tattoo-Szene. Es geht um Jörns Anfänge in einer Zeit, in der Tätowierungen noch klar in Subkulturen verortet waren, um den Weg von Magic Moon vom Studio in Erkelenz zur etablierten Größe und um die Frage, wie sehr sich die Branche zwischen früherer Außenseiterkultur und heutigem Überangebot verändert hat.Außerdem wird's konkret: Seb und Jörn sprechen über technische Entwicklungen wie Pens und Cartridges, über Qualitätsansprüche bei Equipment, über den Einfluss asiatischer Produktion auf den Markt und über die wachsende Austauschbarkeit vieler Brands. Dazu kommt Jörns Blick auf Verbände, politische Grabenkämpfe, den Befähigungsnachweis, REACH, Pigmentverbote und die Schwierigkeit, eine vielfältige Branche überhaupt gemeinsam zu vertreten. Eine Folge über Erfahrung, Haltung und darüber, was vom alten Tattoo-Spirit geblieben ist – und was sich unaufhaltsam verändert hat.[ WERBUNG ]Bei unseren Werbepartnern könnt ihr richtig sparen - darunter bei Neonsfeer, Murostar, Killer Ink, Cheyenne Tattoo Equipment, CoalBlack oder Caos Nero!

In dieser neuen Retrospektive-Folge taucht Micha gemeinsam mit Attila tief in die Welt von Blaze Entertainment und deren Evercade-Universum ein. Während die Gaming-Welt fast vollständig ins digitale abgewandert ist, setzt Evercade auf ein mutiges Gegenmodell: Physische Cartridges inklusive liebevoll gestalteter, farbiger Anleitungen. Wir besprechen das gesamte Hardware-Lineup, vom neuen Handheld EXP-R über die Heimkonsole VS-R bis hin zu den charmanten Super Pockets und der imposanten Alpha-Miniarcade. Ist das haptische Erlebnis von „Plug and Play“ heute noch zeitgemäß oder nur ein teures Gadget für Sammler?Attila ordnet für uns ein, warum Geräte wie das Super Pocket echte „Handschmeichler“ sind, während das EXP-R mit seinem genialen Tate-Modus für vertikale Arcade-Shooter punktet. Doch wir sparen auch nicht mit Kritik: Wir diskutieren offen über Hardware-Schwächen wie zickige Akkus, instabile Firmware und die teilweise fummelige Verpackung. Ob der riesige Katalog aus über 80 Cartridges mit Klassikern von Namco, Atari und Neo Geo den Kauf rechtfertigt und warum der Verzicht auf den „digitalen Überfluss“ der eShops eine ganz neue Art des Spielgenusses ermöglicht, erfahrt ihr in dieser ausführlichen Analyse. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We're talking about the best cartridges for hunting Africa in this episode: plains game, thick-skinned dangerous game, cats, etc. The cartridges I list in this episode are based off the results of surveys I've recently conducted of over 2,000 hunters from all over the world who have hunted Africa. In addition to breaking down those cartridges that are most popular for hunting Africa in general, I also drill down into the most popular ones used by Professional Hunters and in client rifles. I'll also provide a few recommendations for a "1 Gun" or a "2 Gun" safari based on what you're hunting. Sponsor: Get in touch with me to make your Africa hunting dreams come true on a hunt in South Africa. We offer outstanding hunting safaris, simplified hunt logistics, assistance with many of the pain points associated with a hunt, and up front pricing with no extra fees.

Crystal-clear water means more than fine micron ratings; it means steady flow, low pressure spikes, and a filter you can actually live with. We dive into the real-world reasons cartridge filters outperform DE and sand for most pools, from massive surface area that keeps PSI stable to a simple cleaning routine that skips the gray dust and regulatory headaches of diatomaceous earth.We walk through how pleated media provides 7x the surface area of common DE setups, why that matters for circulation, and how stable flow prevents dead zones, improves skimming, and reduces algae risk. You'll hear practical comparisons: DE at 3–5 microns, cartridge around 10–20, sand near 40—and why your eye won't notice the difference between 5 and 15 microns, but your spa spillway will notice the flow. We also cover where sand or DE still makes sense, especially in high-dust regions where backwashing is a lifeline, and for homeowners who need the simplest possible maintenance routine.If you run a variable speed pump, this conversation is a must. Cartridges pair naturally with higher throughput, keeping performance consistent at elevated speeds and making the most of modern 3 HP total-rated motors. We break down service realities—DE recharging, grid tears, cracked manifolds, and messy burps—versus the straightforward hose-and-go workflow of cartridges. Then we talk replacement cycles, brand recommendations for elements, and why most new builds default to cartridges because of both performance and local DE disposal rules.• Why cartridge surface area preserves flow and reduces PSI rise• Micron ratings vs what the human eye can see• When high-dirt regions may favor sand or DE• Variable speed pump compatibility and throughput• Cleaning workflows and mess: DE recharging vs quick cartridge rinse• Common failure points in DE and sand that cartridges avoid• Cost and replacement cycles for grids vs cartridges• Sizing guidance using 420–520 sq ft examples• Builder trends and local DE disposal rulesSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Lots of hunters and shooters complain about new cartridges. "My .270 will do anything that stupid new (insert cartridge name here) can do!" Is that a fact. In this episode, we explore whether cutting-edge new cartridges actually have an advantage over proven classic cartridges. To showcase the concept, we pit the legendary .270 Winchester against the racy new 6.5 WBY RPM, but we include a ton of other classic and new cartridges in the discussion too. This was a fun one and is sure to ruffle some feathers and turn the crank on a lot of hunters and shooters. ENJOY! FRIENDS, PLEASE SUPPORT THE PODCAST!

Today, Rob Massa from the Bergara Academy and the R&K Hunting Company in Wyoming joins me on the show to discuss some observations he has made on what cartridges and bullets work and don't work from over 20 years outfitting elk hunts in Wyoming. I first met Rob while attending an event at the Bergara long range shooting Academy in 2024 and I was incredibly impressed both with his knowledge of shooting and hunting as well with the professionalism he ran the Bergara Academy and the R&K Hunting Company with. With that in mind, I decided to bring him on the show to discuss some insights he has developed over the course of over 20 years in this business on effective elk hunting cartridges and bullets. Sponsor: Get in touch with Rob at The R&K Hunting Company In Wyoming to book an elk, antelope, or deer hunt. I cannot recommend them highly enough: they have hardworking and friendly guides, comfortable lodging, great food, and fantastic hunting. Plus, they can also help you get a tag with little or no points for those species. Visit their web site or call Rob at (435) 979-1497 to learn more. Email me john@thebiggamehuntingblog.com if you're interested in joining me on the Big Game Hunting Podcast antelope hunt 9-14 October 2026 in Wyoming. In this episode of The Big Game Hunting Podcast, host John McAdams sits down with elk outfitter Rob Massa to discuss his favorite cartridges and bullets for hunting elk. Rob shares a few stories of effective terminal performance on elk, how tough elk are to kill, his favorite shot placement on elk, how things have changed with the most popular cartridges and bullets for elk hunting over the course of his career, and much more. His takeaway? There are lots of things that will work on elk, but certain cartridges and bullets tend to deliver a mix of performance that delivers the best overall performance.

Africa's Cape Buffalo, known by those that hunt them as "Black Death," are the most achievable and at the same time most compelling of all dangerous game to pursue. Hunting Black Death must be done properly, with a good rifle, chambered for a potent cartridge, that's loaded with a premium bullet. This epside we sit down with Mark Haldane, owner and operator of Zambeze Delta Safaris, who likely has more experience hunting Cape Buffalo than any other PH alive. Mark discusses adequate buffalo cartridges, good buffalo cartridges, and great buffalo cartridges. Perhaps more importantly, Mark states unequivocally what is the best bullet for hunting Cape Buffalo. Shot placement is crucial on Cape Buffalo, and Mark details exactly where to aim on broadside, quartering, and facing-on bulls, as well as how to follow up your shots... whether it's just an insurance shot as your bull staggers away or facing a charge and maximizing your chances of stopping that bull before he gets to you. Folks, this was one of my all-time favorite conversations. ENJOY! FRIENDS! We're doing short bonus audio episodes two or three times a week now for our Patreon page.

Andy McCormick, from Legacy Sports International, talks about the tiny, and lightweight, rifles from Howa.-- New rifle cartridges. Do we really need them?-- The U.S. Supreme Court once again "relisted" two gun cases, keeping them alive. One is a ban on standard capacity magazines and the other is a ban on semi-auto firearms.
