Ep. 110 California Ducks & Modern Shotshells: A Conversation with MIGRA’s CEO
Update: 2025-12-08
Description
Jeff Smith and Carson Odegard sit down with Mark Regalbuto, CEO of MIGRA Ammunition, for a straight-shooting talk on California waterfowling and the nuts and bolts of building precision shotshells. They cover why California is richer duck country than most folks realize—ocean to marsh to rice—and how public-land access shapes the hunt. They also dig into navigating California ammo regulations, COVID-era growth, sustainability trends like biodegradable components, and where MIGRA sees innovation and partnerships heading next.
What you’ll hear
- California, underrated and accessible — from salt to rice, there’s “a little bit of everything” on public ground.
- Regulatory reality — the extra hoops to sell and distribute ammo in-state, and why folks hope those rules don’t go national.
- Scaling through the surge — how COVID demand impacted MIGRA’s operations.
- Greener components — where biodegradable wads/cases are now and what could make them mainstream.
- Roadmap & relationships — waterfowl loads, crossover ideas, and how a boutique brand partners in a crowded market.
- CWA partnership — closing thanks and a welcome to MIGRA as a new corporate supporter of California Waterfowl.
