What a meticulous process this is, and hugely beneficial from a recycling perspective! This Company have clearly set their standards high to ensure repeatable reliability from their ammunition. Thank you for this interesting and informative article.
Looks like factory work. Having worked in manufacturing, the subject of what you're making is cool for a while. Before long, you start seeing ammo in your dreams. Thousands and thousands of little brass tubes. Then, eventually, your soul erodes. Then you end up kind of wishing you were doing something else. Stick to a decent well paying job, and make enough to buy the reloading equipment on the side as a hobby. That way you get all the fun and enjoyment without the soul suck. Best way to ruin a hobby you love is to do it as a job.
now this is what I wld call an gr8 informative video on the processes involved in reloading used brasses. Have seen many TH-cam videos that bring u on a tour of a well known ammno manufacturer and u are left wondering what is actually happening....coz they just show u superficial stuff......this is definitely worth sharing n saving....
@@MrCharliebbarkin stupid are the people that support what is happening at Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, and Chicago. Only Dems and Commies agree with the chaos.
It actually isnt, it looks more like a garage build. You can buy machines that have been engineered to do exactly those processes and those are in a different league. I always have to laugh when I see commercial operations using a 1050 Dillon, nothing wrong with Dillon at all, but they use it because their business is low sales and low margins.
The best 8 years of my career was spent in an ammunition recycling facility , Machining , designing , building and refitting . 75 ppm isn't bad much faster you start running into gravity failure.
Very interesting! These machines are awesome. I like that there is a lot of checking for ensuring quality. I see much pontential for additional automation as well
Muy buena explicación acerca de como se vuleven a refabricar los cartuchos usados, y todo su proceso de manufactura, y ese riguroso control de calidad..!! Excelente video..!!
@@stevenwolf8483 yes unfortunately unless you start your own. It is not as hard as one would believe, I see a lot of Dillion loaders in the video, besides the fees for insurance and licensing(which will be a lot) you are your limit. I say go for it the more options we have the better.
They wouldn’t have to do all that with flip trays and guessing that it’s “close” if they had a GI-360. Granted, they are $350,000 but ever since we got ours we have paid for it easily by putting out 5,000 cases an hour through the GI. NO GUESSWORK, no flipping blocks, full 8 point laser inspection down to a millionth of an inch. Flawless, insanely quick production.
If they are picking up their brass from police departments im pretty aure they dont use berdan primers as for shooting ranges they can ask the range owner to send out his people to pick up certain brass types and they pay them in which both sides get a benefit
Not sure how they would pop the primer out on a berdan primed cased. The decapping pin would just bend or whatever it’s meant to do when it catches on something
@@dr.haroldweinstein5157 RCBS make a Berdan primer remover, but the most efficient method is hydraulic, but you can reform the pocket and convert it into Boxer primer pocket. I loaded tens of thousands of Berdan primed cases as I had gotten about a hundred lbs of free range Berdan brass and cases of primers cheap.
Enjoyable video, I do not mind 9MM and 40 reloads for practice. I did buy some .357 reloads, they were awful, threw most of them away. None of the ammo had this companies name on it.
I've had factory new 357 fail. Last time I went shooting with my father-in-law he had some Remington branded 357 mag that was shearing off at a wadcutter style mid crimp in the cartridge. I've also seen herters brass that was way out of spec, and pretty much any other brand you can think of. I suppose I can't say I have seen a Hornady cartridge with an obvious defect.
The short answer is what Mike D said. There check for cracks will kick out practically all defective cases. As for brass that has been fired multiple times, that would probably be only a small portion of brass being sold by ranges. Government agencies selling off once fired brass would be form new manufactured ammo. If case this is a high concern for you, stick to new manufactured.
Handgun calibers tolerate multiple firings without too much risk, but rifle brass stretches a lot more, so the rifle brass would need to be once-fired only to be trusted for reloading on a mass scale.
How do you know how many times a casing has been fired? Once after they’re bored casings lose material. How much material can be lost before deemed unsafe?
Great Video with excellent explanations about what is going on. In word where many try to hide their shops secretes, it great to see someone willing to show share a world many of us won't get to see or know about. Every Reloader of course will armchair complain in the comments on everything they do differently with small home hits , that you do with your industrial set up. Even if your's is correct, how dare you have nicer and better machines and tools than them...... They'll also find some cartridge case somewhere in the pile(how long and how many cases did the measure on their screen to do so?) to complain about it be stretched or malformed to feel Superior....
@Fix Bayonets How much experience do you have with reloading? Because thats how you break your reloading presses. You cant just decap milcrimped brass the same way you do uncrimped boxer primers.
@@GenScinmore I've done many thousands of crimped cases and they decap the same way as any other case. Maybe if you're using Lee equipment it's a problem.
A uncle of mine was hand sorting live ammo in a wooden box/milk crate and one of the 44 mags went off and blew three fingers and half his palm off. What do you think went wrong ?
Since this is salvaged brass does this mean that one box may contain bullets with different manufacturers' headstamps? This shouldn't make a difference but I know shooters who are really finicky about staying devoted to one or two manufacturers. Other than that this is a pretty cool process.
It must be really tough for REMAN ammo makers right now because their prices aren't any better than factory plinking ammo from what I have seen over the last couple years. The costs and availability of powder and primer seems to have closed that gap in price. Years ago your reman stuff would be a good bit cheaper than something like Winchester white box....now I even see reman at higher prices at times.
how much would it take to get started making your own ammo in bulk like this as i looked at handloading costs but was curious how expensive it gets time you get sorting machines etc or what kind of costs are involved in selling it to.
@@Gunroomtv ah OK thanks just was curious as when I move to somewhere more gun friendly was hoping to reload and sell any extras I can make from what I collect at ranges etc. I got most things planned but wasn't sure how bad it was there to get ramped into remanufactured ammo etc.
This issues you would face would be the legality of making ammunition here in the UK compared to elsewhere in the world. Another is consistency in ammunition production, all machines will have some sort of variation from wear and tear. It would be prudent to talk with larger munition manufacturers where possible.
The lady at the end of the video is the main reason why I decided to get some ammo. Lol she was cute. Lol kidding. Nice to know my ammo was checked by the hands of a lovely looking Lady. 💯 And if there was the host's wife I take it all back. I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy. Wayne's world.
Someone gifted me some peak 9mm htps and they’re actually pretty good. Not the best projectile for home defense but if you want to train with htp they’re great and not much more than new Winchester fmj
I have found that buying Remanufactured Ammo is not any cheaper than new ammo on average unless you reload yourself. Of course right now it is hard to find any ammo.

As a handloader I found this fascinating! And jealous of the speed and capacity of your machines.
They are clearly essential workers

Yes in my op as an American we need arm more good people aka ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS more guns on the streets will definately have less gun crimes
Yes Lord should now have faith in us again all hope is not lost
Well duh
The one in the white shorts is definitely essential.
That is so cool. This is the only industry I can see how raw materials get turned into a finished product.
The dream of every re-loader in the country. What a fascinating set-up.
Brass is the most beautiful thing on earth. Especially when topped with copper. I could polish bullets all day.

How do you sort for Berdan primed cases? I'm sure a fair amount gets to you. Unless you dont reload calibers that have been known to use it.

We thought so as well!
So who made all the specialty machines like brass sorters, etc? I'm just as interested in the making of the machines.
Nice job!! ♥
I do a decent amount of reloading myself, but still a very fun video to watch!

I remember the days when ammo was plentiful. 9mm was less than 25 cents a round and a brick of 556 was less than my mortgage

Please open a few more factories making just 9x19, and 5.56!
imagine if there where live rounds in the tumbler
Fire fighters get hit by ammunition all the time all it does is bouce off coz it has no barrel to focus the combustion
I wonder what happens with the more obscure cases like .445 supermag and .357 maximum?
First pan around, last machine to the left ? Huge swing over lid ?
