Brian sits down with Marc Schulte of Bigfoot Brass, a Team USA PCC World Shoot competitor tackling 19 majors in 2026. Marc shares his transition from the Mean Arms upper to the JP 5 and his upcoming move into Limited Optics and Single Stack with Nighthawk Custom. The duo dig into rising reloading costs as copper and brass scrap prices climb, debate certified ammo versus on the spot Garmin chrono checks, and unpack Marc's tongue in cheek "Virginia Count is Not Practical" campaign. They also preview the proposed Cardinal Cup, a Masters style invitational being developed with Corey Katz that would bring the top 432 shooters across four divisions together under USPSA rules, while weighing the case for Thursday through Saturday major match schedules. The episode closes with shoutouts to S3 Range Carts, Outdoor Dynamics, Da Vinci Machining, and a healthy dose of NHL playoff talk.
