Alpo Posted May 9 Posted May 9 While I have not seen this one before, I have seen a couple of others that are very similar. And that always shows up in the comments. The precision powder charge. That's a volumetric powder charge. How is that really different than using a Lee Dipper? Or an RCBS uniflo? They both do volume. They don't weigh every charge. Do you think when Remington or Winchester or CCI makes ammunition they weigh every charge? Of course not. They load by volume. These people have apparently come up with a powder formula that works best with a case full of powder - with a compressed charge. It's not bullseye, or tightgroup, or accurate number two. But that powder seems to work fine for them with that charging system. 2 Quote
J-BAR #18287 Posted May 9 Posted May 9 I wonder what the producer cost per round is in this facility? 1 Quote
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted May 9 Posted May 9 I'm wonderin' how those "factory workers" would fare with a blood lead level test... 5 Quote

I was thinking the same thing. Per an AI over: "workers, including those in ammunition-related industries, face significantly high blood lead levels (BLLs), with studies showing average levels in various exposed groups ranging from 25.26 to 65.5 μg/dL.

I'd wager that at least 25% of them won't even chamber. 2 Quote

Big Gus, SASS# 66666 Posted May 10 Posted May 10 (edited) Ingenious if not hazardous. How they keep their loose clothing for being caught in the rotating machines is a miracle. Wonder what that little priming compound they drop in the case before putting the cup on is made of. The handmade machinery for each step in the process is very clever. It would not take much to automate some of these steps in the process but it would put someone out of work. I love to watch the various manufacturing operations in Indian Subcontinent , they just git er done. Edited May 10 by Big Gus, SASS# 66666 2 Quote

That little cylinder of metal that they hand put on top of the primer compound of each primer as the 'anvil' was impressive Dave wasn't it, I wonder what the reliability is? Quote
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted May 11 Posted May 11 (edited) I'm wondering what metal the jackets were formed from. Stips into cups then lead cored swaged into them... then into a wash, and then into another wash to be copper* plated, if I saw that correctly. Is the priming compound in the primer pocket or the primer cup? And I'm a-thinkin' that that old fella with the whiskers might be all of 23 years old... it's a rough life! *Edit: Looks like copper coming out of the "wash," but the finished rounds look like the bullets are brass plated.
