    Ah but you get free ammo? Hopefully not the stuff that doesn't pass

    I knew they inspected it from the video but wasn't sure if they were also manufactured on site.
    I have to sort it. We start with 10,000 rds. of good ammo, and throw-in defects during the ATP to prove-out the run-off for the customer. These machines simply get bought by military and ammo manufacturers to QC their ammo.

    You need one of these bow-mounted and put the .50 on the sissy bar.

    None taken! Not sure if I ever told u or not, I'm a project manager for a company that builds inspection machines. Many of these machines inspect ammunition for probably every type of purchased ammo you have fired out of your weapons. We do other stuff like big 3 suppliers, US Mint, military, etc.

    Anywho . . . At work we have all of the nice Hornady reloading supplies. I thought about doing it at home too, till I found-out how much it all costs! So, fringe benefit of the job is thousands upon thousands of rounds of free ammo I get for free, every caliber u can think of.

    General Inspection, LLC manufactures a complete line of gauging, sorting, and inspection systems incorporating: laser, eddy current and vision technologies for dimensional measurement, determining metallurgical defects.

    What?

    Hi Tod,

    Guns are fun, but you can't ride them. Bikes are more fun, so get your as-ss back on the road where you belong. Don't think, just do it! Happy New Year!
