I’m hoping to be able to post some more firearms related stuff over the next week, including (if I can get my stuff together and am lucky) two gun porn entries.
In the meantime:
“A Federal Case”. A very 1970s promo film about the production of ammo by the Federal Cartridge Corporation.
Bonus video #1: the good folks at Starline Brass make cartridge cases, including cases for a lot of obscure ammo. As I recall, they even produced .356 TSW brass, though I can’t find it on their website at the moment.
Here’s a behind the scenes tour of their brass manufacturing. It has the advantage of less 1970s music.
And they have a YouTube channel, though it doesn’t look like they’ve uploaded anything since 2016.
Bonus video #2: You know who else has a YouTube channel? Norma. You know who updates their channel more often? Norma. You know who else uploaded a factory tour?
One of the things Mike the Musicologist and I keep talking about doing is taking some time off and driving to Nebraska to visit the SAC Museum. From Ashland, Google Maps says it is only about two hours to Grand Island and the Hornady plant, which is something else we’d like to see (and tour, if they’ll let us in).
One of these days, when all this stuff is over and we’ve got time and money. Until then, this will have to do.
