I saw this today and really enjoyed seeing all the processes.  About 20 years ago I got to tour the Nosler bullet factory and that was pretty neat.  However this video includes all the processes making the brass, making bullets, making the full cartridge and boxing for shipping.

The video doesn't explain why it's harder to seat primers in their 38 special brass than any other manufacturer.  I throw that stuff away rather than even try.

The primer pockets are smaller , you can ream them , swage them or just throw them away. I guess you could also load them really hot and expand them that way :) 

Ive never purchased any of their primers but I would imagine they are also slightly smaller than what we’re used to in the US .

I got a bunch of their brass for free and just used a uniforming tool on a drill , it doesn’t take long but swaging on a progressive press would probably be faster, just like using brass that has crimped primers .

Really, I load their cases all the time on my D550 with no issues.  :huh:
