In this episode of the Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, Jamie Dodson kicks off another installment of the Because You Asked series—this one titled "One More Question."
If you've ever called a gunsmith with "just one quick question," you already know how it goes… one more question turns into another—and another. In this episode, Jamie tackles two of the most common (and most misunderstood) issues shooters run into, especially when suppressors enter the mix.
Why a suppressor sometimes won't thread all the way onto the barrel
Carbon buildup, thread length differences, and how to fix it safely
Suppressor alignment, bore rods, and how subtle misalignment kills accuracy
Velocity increases from suppressors and barrel break-in—and how that wrecks your dope
Why factory rifles often struggle with suppressed accuracy
Point-of-impact shifts, re-zeroing, and when problems are "normal" vs. a red flag
Jamie also shares a real customer story from a failed hunt, explains how compounding unknowns can spiral fast, and gives you a practical checklist to troubleshoot suppressed rifles with confidence.
The episode wraps with important updates on:
The Because You Asked video series
The Prosumer Gunsmithing School and upcoming in-person training
Moving content to Rumble due to repeated YouTube strikes
Wolf Precision's return to SHOT Show 2026 and the Great American Outdoor Show
The future of the ACE system, pre-fit barrels, and prosumer-level rifle building
If you've ever wondered why your rifle suddenly started shooting high, why your suppressor feels "wrong," or what you should be checking before blaming your scope—this episode is for you.
