That's cool, federal is the best ammo that my ol marlin 60 LE shoots, by far!

The R&D that goes into all that production of machinery and automation…….is mind boggling


It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

Very interesting.


The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

Pretty cool. If that were me in charge, I'd have that thing setup to make the most popular round I sold, and have it running 24/7 until it got to the point supply caught up with demand and it was sitting unsold on the shelves and more product stacked up in the warehouse. Then I might consider making the 2nd most popular round I sold.....and so on down the line.

Another somewhat related deal......few months back read an account of a guy who was using spent .22lr cases as jackets for .223 ammo. Cleaned it up in a wet bath tumbler, swaged it to remove the rim......core was lead rope cut into cores......then swaged in place. Took about 3 or 4 trips through a swaging press as I recall. Was cheap, and he claimed he got sub MOA accuracy from it.

Different way of making one's own bullets and good way to repurpose spent .22 brass.

I have seen dies also for using .22 lr brass for 243 jackets. Same process. I was going to get the stuff but realized I don't have time for what I do now.
