Live from Sidelia MI

I've notified OSHA of a couple of infractions. Bet they have rats in the break room too

Some great comments on the vid. My favorite:

"It's great to see everyone wearing their safety sandals and invisible safety glasses."

Thanks for sharing!

Could prob go faster if he just dipped the casing in a bowl filled with powder instead of trying to be so precise.

 

[ccm75]

That was painful.
That's just how they do it over at Federal........

Good lord. Just sprinkling powder into the cases with his fingers. WOW

Wait, you don’t do that?

I don't know about you guys....but i can *smell* that place after watching that vid ;-)

I'm amazed that I only saw 1 missing finger. I bet they are all half deaf though.

First thought: I don't use enough laundry baskets or large mixing bowls in my reloading process!

Second thought: Why would they fill cases, blow off excess, and tamp down powder rather than simply using a specific measuring device? (It's not like the drop, blow, pat method saved time over measuring.) It looks like the powder is packed with inert material. It's probably easier to train unskilled workers to fill the cases to the top with a specific blend of powder and sawdust rather than trust said unskilled workers to not double charge cases with some type of measuring scoop.

Here's a screen cap of the ammo packaging shown at the end of the video, to be avoided at all costs:

I was wondering. Are they making that stuff or reusing the boxes?

Also if PPU is made there then maybe it’s not so bad. That stuff has a decent reputation. So maybe we’re being too hard on these skilled workers

 

[240Geezer]

That's my take on it.
Powder plus filler premixed to the correct ratio for that method.
Yup zero skill involved.

Well that was a video from my reloading room I shared with Mike.

 

[walter62]

seems like the baskets would have dropped quite a few.

That is not third world reloading.

That is @pastera garage during a NES get together.

 

[MickeyD’s]

That powder is such shit that no matter how much they filled the case

It ain’t gonna explode …probably still more reliable than wwb

I’ve witnessed it. You hardly tell if the powder guy is @Artie or the primer guy is @yanquidog
