In this episode of the Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie kicks off a new series called The Simple Truth—and pulls no punches.

You can learn through trial and error, or you can learn from professionals. Both are expensive. But what most people underestimate isn't just the money—it's the time, frustration, and risk that come with assumptions and misinformation.

Jamie shares real-world stories from decades in long-range shooting, gunsmithing, and manufacturing, including:

• Why assumption is the death of good projects

• How "experience" without feedback becomes a closed loop

• The hidden dangers of DIY gunsmithing done without guidance

• Why modern "drop-in" parts often aren't drop-in at all

• How one bad component can ruin an entire rifle

• And why professional mentorship fast-tracks real progress

This episode also dives into why shooting fundamentals and rifle building must go hand-in-hand, and how Wolf Precision's Prosumer Gunsmithing School is designed to give shooters and builders the tools, knowledge, and confidence to do things the right way—safely, repeatably, and without guesswork.

Whether you're a long-range shooter, aspiring gunsmith, or someone tired of chasing problems you can't diagnose, this episode lays out the simple truth: learning correctly saves more than money—it saves time, effort, and sometimes lives.

In this episode of the Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie Dodson kicks off another installment of the Because You Asked series—this one titled "One More Question."

If you've ever called a gunsmith with "just one quick question," you already know how it goes… one more question turns into another—and another. In this episode, Jamie tackles two of the most common (and most misunderstood) issues shooters run into, especially when suppressors enter the mix.

• Why a suppressor sometimes won't thread all the way onto the barrel

• Carbon buildup, thread length differences, and how to fix it safely

• Suppressor alignment, bore rods, and how subtle misalignment kills accuracy

• Velocity increases from suppressors and barrel break-in—and how that wrecks your dope

• Why factory rifles often struggle with suppressed accuracy

• Point-of-impact shifts, re-zeroing, and when problems are "normal" vs. a red flag

Jamie also shares a real customer story from a failed hunt, explains how compounding unknowns can spiral fast, and gives you a practical checklist to troubleshoot suppressed rifles with confidence.

The episode wraps with important updates on:

• The Because You Asked video series

• The Prosumer Gunsmithing School and upcoming in-person training

• Moving content to Rumble due to repeated YouTube strikes

• Wolf Precision's return to SHOT Show 2026 and the Great American Outdoor Show

• The future of the ACE system, pre-fit barrels, and prosumer-level rifle building

If you've ever wondered why your rifle suddenly started shooting high, why your suppressor feels "wrong," or what you should be checking before blaming your scope—this episode is for you.

In episode 254, we continue our Build Kit series by talking about the top tier option – a full custom Wolf Precision rifle, built turn-key and ready to shoot right out of the box. I dig into who a true full custom is really for, how it compares to our "assembled minus one" kits, and why it's the right choice for shooters who want world-class performance without having to turn a single wrench… at least not yet.

From there we jump into a couple of jaw-dropping "drop-fit" chassis disasters that recently landed on the bench – including some very high-end stocks with terrible inlets. I walk through what went wrong, why the "just bolt it in and go" myth is so dangerous, and why proper bedding is still critical if you want a true ¼-MOA rifle. This all ties into our upcoming Prosumer Gunsmithing School, the Armory, and some free "Because You Ask" videos where we'll show these problem chassis and what to look for.

Finally, I share the details of our recent YouTube strike (yes, over talking about a gunsmithing vise…) and why we're preparing to move more and more of our content over to Rumble and Vimeo so we don't get erased overnight. I'll also touch on the Wolfpack membership, access to the Armory and range time, and give an update on our 2026 long-range shooting school dates and openings.
