That's an amazing write up. I never realized the problems of making 22 ammo...
Someone did a lot of work making up the 1/4 million or so I've shot in my life...

An excellent write up. I have to disagree with the chaps comment about "If you have shot more than a brick of .22LR ammo, you have had a misfire". I have now put over 1000 rounds of ammo through my CZ Varmint, 500 Eley subs and 500 Winchester T22's and I have not had one misfire.



I have just bought a Anschutz 1813 for target shooting, so I'll have to see what ammo it likes and how I get on with that.

I bought 2 boxes of Eley EPS. One box was flawless. The second had 1/3 failure to ignite.

Ha Ha.  I work there.  The biggest problem with making .22 ammo is most of the employees
are there just for the pay check.  In the beginning of the video it actually shows Lenore Idaho
not Clarkston WA.

Nice videos, I love seeing how things are made. There is more hand work in this than I thought, especially in the priming part. They really crank this stuff out. I am amazed they can produce it and sell it for the low price they do.

Uh, excuse me Polarbear, but why else would they be there?  If you are saying in a round about way they lack motivation,
I couldn't blame them. That place is like slave labor to me.  Management is probably responsible for the worker's
attitude. Maybe forming specialized work cells that allow the employees to work in different areas, on different stages
of the manufacturing process, on different days, would go a long way to relieve apathy. Just a thought.

Anyhow, I really love CCI's AR Tactical as it is the only U.S. made .22lr that is dependable and accurate in my guns.

Well, I appreciate you making them even if it's just for the paycheck.    The only reason I work at MY boring job is so I can buy bullets to go shooting.    And I'm happy that these are still being made in the USA.  Keep cranking those babies out.  To paraphrase an old Dorito's ad.... "Shoot all you want.  We'll make more."
