How Ammunition is Manufactured: From Raw Materials to Finished Product
Ammunition manufacturing starts with raw materials like cartridge brass, projectiles, primers and powder. The cartridge brass forms the case, the projectile is generally made of a lead core with a copper jacket, and primers contain an explosive compound to ignite the gunpowder. Each component is produced and prepared for assembly.
Automated machines handle assembly, loading precise amounts of gunpowder, inserting primers, and seating bullets into cases. Quality control is essential at every step to ensure consistency and safety, with defective rounds discarded before packaging.
Once tested for performance and safety, the ammunition is packaged and labeled for distribution. At Green Country Ammunition, only the highest quality materials are used, ensuring a premium finished product. This commitment to quality guarantees that each round is dependable, safe, and performs to the highest standards, giving shooters confidence in every shot.
