The Shoot2hunt Podcast

[mt terry d]

There's a video of a guy on an Indian Rez who passes up several with his bow
to end up last day rifle blasting through some trees at a spooked bull.
Total cringe. Amazed anyone would post that in public. I'd sooner parade down
main street Big Timber in a speedo.

In one of the reloading episodes, Jake gave a preference list of brass brands. Does anyone know it or where it was?

According to the podcast:
Great brass:
ADG
Alpha
Peterson
Lapua

OK Brass:
Hornady
Bertram

Not great:
Federal
Winchester
Remington
Starline

You also need a JVB spoof intro, talking about whallopp (tm), authority, and frontal diameter of the hosts.

I started recording one in my machine at work one day but realized there's no chance they would actually use it. But it kept me entertained for a while haha. It was hard to stop once I started, I think he might actually need help

Interesting. I would have put Win, R-P, and starline above both hornady and bertram but i'm sure it all varies significantly by cartridge and lot.

This isn't my list, just what the podcast said. I think the list is largely correct but in my unqualified opinion, I would agree that Starline and Winchester are more mid tier.

With all due respect, Jake says a lot of crap in these ammo series pods that makes no sense. He does profess to take quite a lot of pharmaceuticals…

Yeah, given the re-usability of brass cases, it’s nearly impossible for any individual to truly have a large enough sample size of intimate experience with various lots and chamberings of different brands of brass to really make a statistically relevant claim about the relative ranking of brands, particularly where the quality is comparable and differences are within statistical uncertainty. Consequently, we all form opinions that are somewhat anecdotal in nature.

As an example, I have had negative experiences with recent lots of WW brass in .223 Rem, and very positive experiences with several lots of SIG, Starline, and Hornady brass, so I would rank them higher than WW and S&B.

Alpha and Lapua (in addition to ADG and Peterson) are in a different enough class that they are easily recognized as higher quality than the lower and mid-tier brass, even with a smaller sample size of exposure.

Listened to the Jay, Cliff, and Cliff pods this week - those guys are good guests, enjoy listening to their takes.

Jeff Siewart would be an interesting guy to have on reloading podcasts. Appreciate what Jake has done in the industry but dont see him as a subject matter expert on most of this.

I really enjoyed James Petzke on the podcast. Seems like an all-around solid dude to have on our side in Boise. Glad to have him as my representative.
