How .22 LR rounds are manufactured

Post by xl_target » Thu Jul 05, 2012 10:05 am

The .22 LR is one of the most popular rounds in the USA. Millions of rounds are shot every day.
CCI in the US alone produces about 4 million rounds of .22 LR ammo per day at one facility!

Here two short videos detailing the process of manufacture of .22 LR rounds at CCI's Idaho plant.

XL, this was indeed very interesting. I particularly liked the part where it described how the cases were primed, as I often have wondered how this might be done in a production environment. One thing I wished they had shown, but understandably didn't in this rather high-level documentary, was how the seated bullets are crimped by a machine that seats so many rounds at a time.

I sure wish I could have one of those pallets in my garage! 250,000 rounds! That would keep things going for quite some time!

Thank you, sir.

Gladiator, I think that is beyond the scope of this thread. Start another one or do a search as there are lots of threads on this forum about that. You can also google your term "lethality of .22LR ammo"
