[@silver965]

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.

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.

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.

[@cameronwilson3800]

I wonder how they check for range brass that has had multiple firings, and is therefore susceptible to incipient case head separation?

[@MrXhuber]

They don't

[@tim18wheels76]

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.

[@onemoremisfit]

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.

[@edwinmedina1029]

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?

[@Buckshotshoey00]

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.

[@GenScinmore]

i'm wondering the same.

[@mrvladimirputin9828]

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

[@dr.haroldweinstein5157]

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

[@Absaalookemensch]

@@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.

[@ChucksSEADnDEAD]

The debris checker he mentioned would probably reject a case without the single flash hole in the center.

How does the machine punch primers on crimped .556 brass without breaking a decaping pin?

@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.

[@OtisFlint]

@@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.

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....

[@bryanjaeck4828]

[@GunFunZS]

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.

[@Coltonm8994]

[@davebeckley2584]

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.
