In this episode of the Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie Dodson takes a hard look at BDC turrets and reticles — and why he jokingly calls them "Being Duped for Cash." From the break-in period of a new rifle to the effects of density altitude, Jamie explains why these systems often fail at longer ranges and how they can give hunters a false sense of security. He shares real-world examples from the Wolf Precision shooting school, breaks down where BDC systems work and where they don't, and offers practical advice on dialing dope the right way in minutes or mils. Plus, updates on Wolf Precision's 2026 Long Range Shooting School, build-assist experiences, and upcoming Rifle Readiness Clinics. Whether you're a seasoned marksman or just stepping into the world of precision shooting, this episode is packed with insights to help you shoot smarter, not gimmick-harder.
