I found this video to be very interesting and informative. Wait until you see how much lead CCI uses in a day!

That was a great video. I sure would like to snag a pallet of that stuff!
What am I talking about? I would take a couple of sleeves and be happy.

Wow, that is some operation. I always wondered how they got the primer in the rim. Had no idea that the bullets were made out of wire.

Wow, look at all those .22's! Great video.
How come I can't CCI's at Walmart,Midway or Sportsman's Guide?

Thanks for sharing the plant tour, JCN. Incredible amount of work and ammo coming out of that USA plant! Good stuff.
I liked watching the various equipment operators as they worked on that detailed ammo assembly. Sure would be interesting to see it in person.

That was a good video. I saw one some time ago that went into more detail of the process. It was really clear about the dangers of making and loading the primer into the cartridges. This one described the process as this is where we do this... but not how it was one. But all in all a good video of how much work goes into rimfire.
