How bullets are made

From "How Stuff Works" off the Discovery channel. Wished there had been a little more detail.

I took a tour through the factory a couple years ago, it is very cool. I am lucky enough to live about an hour away and have a friend who is a manager there. I buy their seconds 10lbs at a time.

Cool video, great post!

Here's one (PR piece) at the Lake City plant.

Thought about putting that one up too, its got a lot more intricacy to it. Watching the Cor Bon videos about how they make their ammo is cool to.

Had no idea that's how it was done. Neat.

I had a tour of the CCI plant in Lewiston ID, it was amazing to see. The rolls of brass was huge, and the long coils of led was neat to see. The only thing they did not make there was the boxes that the pistol rounds came in. The made the brass, primers, bullets and even the plastic trays there.

I'll have to check out CCI's plant next time I'm over that way.
