- I think this is baloney. What "real" factory
-
- *visually and touch- inspects every cartridge case for gross defects
- like neck splits, missing, improper size or misplaced flash hole,
- rim and/or extraction groove defect
- *visually inspects every primer to ensure it has an anvil
- and something under it
- *primes each case by "feel" rather than seating by depth, thus
- ensuring anvils are bottomed-out
- *weighs every powder charge
- *visually inspects every charged case for approximately same powder
- level
- *visually and touch- inspects every bullet
- *seals each finished cartridge primer with lacquer
- *function-tests 1/6 of finished cartridges before accepting the
- small lot for service use
-
- Also, I prefer once-fired cases to new ones, despite some folk's
- recommendations to use new cases for service. I have more confidence
- in a case that's proved that it has no defect that will cause it to
- fail on the first firing.
