TPH 172: Real Talk | Why Factory Ammo Never Matches Box Velocity

In this episode of the Texas Predator Hunting Podcast, Wade kicks off the new Real Talk series by breaking down why your chronograph results rarely match what’s printed on the ammo box. From barrel length, suppressors, temperature swings, chamber dimensions, and lot-to-lot variability — there are dozens of reasons velocity can shift. Wade shares how Ally Munitions tests ammo across multiple barrels, why AI is starting to help predict shot-to-shot performance, and why every shooter should own a chronograph.
