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.

In this unapologetic sit-down rant, Tim and Kim Sundles dive into something most Americans can relate to. From property taxes to vehicle registrations, Tim lays out example after example of how everyday people are squeezed, controlled, and penalized by government systems that never seem to serve the citizens footing the bill.Tim breaks down the Wyoming property tax form that pushed him over the edge, shares the nightmare of Idaho canceling all six of his truck registrations despite full insurance, and explains how the state legally sucked tens of thousands of dollars straight out of his bank account after a catastrophic barn fire.
