Buffalo Bore Ammunition and Outdoors

Tim had the pleasure of sitting down with Cliff Gray a while back for a wide-ranging conversation on hunting, the outdoors, and government overreach. Now, we’re sharing the video on our channel too.

Tim and Cliff talk elk cartridges and shot placement, hunting in dark timber and at bad angles, and why “perfect broadside shots” often aren’t realistic. They also discuss wolf reintroduction, wildlife management, and Tim’s firsthand observations living and hunting in Idaho.

We want to give a big thank you to Cliff for having Tim on.

Cliff runs a phenomenal YouTube channel and you should definitely give him a follow ‪@CliffGray

Tim and Kim cover a wide range of topics in this livestream, from reported quality control issues with major American revolver manufacturers to AR barrel length preferences, belted magnums, and choosing a first whitetail rifle.

Tim shares strong thoughts on declining manufacturing standards in the firearms industry, lever guns for Alaska, and whether 10mm is remotely appropriate for Cape Buffalo (spoiler: probably not).

They also get into reloading manuals for beginners, muzzle brake realities, grizzly bear populations, and the practical side of hunting ethics, including why Tim won’t shoot past 500 yards.

This livestream was recorded live from Africa and covers a wide range of topics, from dangerous game hunting and real-world buffalo encounters to firearms, ammunition, and viewer Q&A.

Tim, Kim, and Chris Jonker share firsthand hunting stories, discuss big-bore rifles and handgun loads, answer questions about defensive ammo, recoil management, and cartridge performance, and talk about what hunters should know before booking an African safari. The conversation also touches on safety, outfitter vetting, and the realities of hunting overseas.

Thanks to everyone who joined live on Feb. 1 on our YouTube channel.

In this episode, Tim breaks down a topic that set the internet on fire, and explains why critics completely missed the point.

What started as a joking comment about shooting frogs turns into a deep dive on social engineering, government overreach, and how wildlife regulations are used to condition compliance. Drawing from decades of firsthand experience living, hunting, and raising a family in rural America, Tim explains that this conversation was never about animals. It was about freedom, independence, and control.

The discussion covers conservation vs. control, federal and state wildlife agencies, food dependence, taxation, and how well-intentioned laws slowly reshape behavior over generations. Tim argues that real conservation comes from people who live with the land, not distant bureaucracies, and challenges viewers to think critically about what they’re told is “for their own good.”

Agree or disagree, this episode is meant to make you think.

This livestream was recorded from Africa on Jan. 22 and covers a wide-ranging Q&A on dangerous game hunting, firearms, and life in the bush.

Tim, Kim, and professional hunter/outfitter Chris Jonker answer viewer questions on Cape buffalo, elephant, leopard, and plains game, along with in-depth discussions on rifle calibers, stopping rifles, handgun limitations in Africa, and what actually works when things go sideways.

The conversation also dives into snake encounters, poaching, conservation funding, African hunting logistics, firearm laws, meat processing, and what daily life looks like on a working game reserve.

Sorry it cuts off abruptly, but hey. It was over two hours anyway!

The firearms industry is full of myths, approximations, and half-truths—and many of them don’t just confuse shooters, they damage guns and create dangerous situations.

In this episode, Tim breaks down one of the most common (and costly) misconceptions in shooting: the idea that all lead bullets are the same. Using real-world examples, manufacturing experience, and decades of testing, he explains the critical differences between pure lead and properly made hard cast bullets, why Glock manuals warned against “lead,” and how misinformation continues to spread through forums, gun shops, and YouTube videos.

This is a no-nonsense discussion about pressure, barrel fouling, polygonal rifling, hard cast alloys, coatings, and why details matter in ammunition—especially when people start generalizing what they don’t fully understand.

This week we're revisiting one of Tim's most intense hunting stories: a close-range Cape buffalo charge that showed why the .375 H&H, though effective for planned shots, is not a true stopping rifle when things go sideways.

In this Buffalo Bore livestream, originally aired on Dec. 17, Tim and Kim Sundles tackle a wide range of viewer questions covering dangerous game hunting, big-bore rifles, ammunition performance, and hard-earned lessons from Africa.

Topics include rifle and sight setup for Cape buffalo, real-world bullet penetration stories, thoughts on various cartridges (including what won’t be produced), and what actually matters when choosing gear for close-range dangerous game. Tim also shares unfiltered experiences from African safaris, including outfitter selection, trophy fees, tipping expectations, and why asking the right questions ahead of time can save you a lot of regret later.

As always, this is a candid, unscripted conversation, mixing technical hunting advice with personal stories, strong opinions, and the realities of international hunts that don’t always go as planned.
