Found this online....I've always wondered how they made .22RF, especially getting the primer into the tiny rim of the case!

Afraid I can't get Youtube embedding to work so link below....

One thing I found very surprising was the amount of manual work this takes, I assumed it was going to be one of those fully-automated factories you see on TV; brass, primer, bullets and powder get thrown in an automated system that spits out boxed complete rounds - looks like reality is far from that, even the boxing of rounds is manually done!

Enjoy...

Excellent video. Thanks for posting.

would be better if the processes were shown in a bit more detail

Bet Adam would like one of those lead ingots in his casting area!

I was surprised at the number of people involved in the process and also just how much the loaded ammunition is rattled around.

A very good video.

I had a feeling this would be .22 Plinkster video, I think he's been very fortunate to have been given any access, let alone a full tour at CCI!
You also have to laugh at the guy desperate to avoid saying 'Explosion' at the 4:50m mark

The only ammunition I've trusted to the 15-22 so far...

Excellent video.

Quite an involved process and all for 5p a shot, bargain!

I was surprised by the amount of lead they use in a day too.
