I love tour videos of firearms facilities. The insight of how things are made, and how different plants/factories does things slightly different is really cool. Hopefully by showing this it will entice more people to pursue work in the firearms industry which is quite shrouded compared to most other industries which require similar skills. And another bonus is the general openness it give the public and breaks this modern taboo around firearms that we've gotten more and more of. It's just skilled workers, machines and metals that makes a gun, not some evil voodoo that creates them from the shadows.

Had a case rupture in my Rossi 357. Ejected half of the casing. Didn’t realize until we tried to load the next round and it wouldn’t load. Looked at the brass on the ground and found that half of a casing, looked in the chamber and could see the rest of it stuck in there. Never had an issue with any other 357 ammo. Sorry but I’ll never buy S&B ammo again. So far I won’t buy S&B or PMC. Had a 300Blk round in a box of 223 with the PMC. Haven’t had any issues with Federal, AE, Blazer, Winchester, Fiocchi or Armscor USA which are my main go to ammo manufacturers. By the way Larry your looking great! Keep up the good work!

I saw several of these machines are made by the french company MANURHIN, now renamed "Manufacture du Haut-Rhin", and I couldn't help but to feel sad. Manurhin was and arguably still is the world leader in ammunition-making machines. A company that had to be SOLD to the united arab emirates company EDIC in 2018, after not being properly supported by the french government, following a controversial fusion with the Slovakian company DELTA DEFENSE. An absolute shame. There were some empty words voiced by some ministers about relaunching the company in France, with several defense industy partners being interested, but the french gov refused. Over the 100 employees, 40 are technically in partial unemployment. The company at the time of its judicial liquidation had virtually no treasury but over 100 million Euros in order backlogs!!!!!!!! The french government, past and present, is treacherous towards its own defense industry. To any member of the defense industry reading these lines, american or whatever, DO NOT let something like this happen to you!
