It’s always awe-inspiring watching modern Ammunition Production. Still; it’s such good fun and such a challenge handloading Precision ammunition yourself or, even better, with your like-minded reloading / shooting friends. I’m even considering a new Precision Long-Range Rifle in 6.5 Creedmore caliber. Checking out Redding Competition Dies & Accessories for same. Browsing the reloading sites & blogs. I’m busy running various load combinations through several ballistics programs. I’m in expectation of many enjoyable hours at the reloading machine bench and at the range next spring.

I just wondered if LC makes the SS109 bullets the bullet itself not the loaded ammo, or if they are contracted out and loaded at lake city…Thanks..Jim

Having worked 31 years at LCAAP, I take offense to the writer of this piece saying there was an ‘overboard’ of ‘smiling employees gushing over quality control’. Employees who took pride in their ‘quality control’, did not ‘gush’, they produced a high quality product and went to great lengths to do so. The writer obviously doesn’t know much about the tedious processes by which these bullets are made…they need to be educated.
