<p>Here&#8217;s an entertaining video from <a href="https://www.fogammo.com/" target="_blank">Fog Ammunition</a>. Starting with boxes of bullets and bags of cartridge brass, this video shows how components are bulk-sorted, then .223 Rem ammunition is produced on a modern, linear multi-stage loading machine. In assembly-line fashion, cases are primed, powder is added, bullets are placed, final seating depth is set, and then the case is crimped.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve never seen an automated loader in action you should definitely <strong>watch this video</strong>. With this kind of machine, a new round is produced every second or so (<strong>see video 1:15 to 1:55</strong>). The .223 Remington ammunition featured in this video is loaded with Sierra BlitzKing bullets. Fog offers both rifle and pistol ammo loaded with quality components.</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s something you don&#8217;t see every day &#8212; the inside of loaded cartridges, sliced halfway through. This lets you see how bullet core, jacket, cartridge case, powder, and primer all fit together. Give credit to the folks at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCboPkXjNMC-nAWtaObiQBeQ" target="_blank">FOG Ammunition</a> for creating this interesting series of cut-through ammo images. We show four cartridges here: the .308 Winchester, 9mm Luger, 300 BLK, and .50 BMG. You&#8217;ll find two more (the .223 Remington and .45 ACP) on the original <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201108135027/https://www.fogammo.com/blogs/news/cut-in-half-six-popular-hunting-shooting-and-self-defense-rounds" target="_blank">FOG Ammo Blog Article</a>.</p>
<p><img src="https://accurateshooter.net/pix/cutaway1602.jpg" alt="sliced cutaway ammo ammunition FOG diagram"></p>
<p>This <strong>.308 Winchester</strong> model took on a different approach by only cutting the brass case and displaying the full bullet, primer and powder load. A spec amount of powder was used to create the model powder form. An estimated 10% volume was added during the forming process, along with an undetermined amount of air pockets.</p>
<p><img src="https://accurateshooter.net/pix/cutaway1603.jpg" alt="sliced cutaway ammo ammunition FOG diagram"></p>
<p>This bisection is a <strong>9mm Luger Jacketed Hollow Point</strong> round with flake powder held together with super glue. After this self-defense round was cut by a trained professional the round was polished by hand. This might look like stick powder, but those are in fact flakes stacked up in cross-section. Designed in 1901 by Georg Luger, this popular cartridge is used by civilians, military, and law enforcement.</p>
<p><img src="https://accurateshooter.net/pix/cutaway1605.jpg" alt="sliced cutaway ammo ammunition FOG diagram"></p>
<p>For this model of the <strong>.300 AAC Blackout</strong> (aka 300 BLK), a Dremel tool was used to create a pie cut within the bullet and brass case. A measured amount of power, roughly 65% of spec charge, was placed inside the case with super glue. This cartridge was originally optimized for subsonic use with a suppressor, so the amount of powder used is small relative to the nominal case capacity. That leaves more room for the relatively large .30-caliber bullet.</p>
<p><img src="https://accurateshooter.net/pix/cutaway1604.jpg" alt="sliced cutaway ammo ammunition FOG diagram"></p>
<p>Last but definitely not least is the <strong>.50 Caliber BMG</strong> round (aka .50 Browning Machine Gun). Famed for its wartime use in the M2 Machine gun, the .50 BMG round is also used in civilian Long Range competitions. A typical .50 BMG cartridge holds over 225 grains of powder. That’s almost ten times the amount in a 5.56&#215;45 NATO Round! To demonstrate the size of the .50 BMG, check out that .223 Rem for comparison.</p>

<p>With ammunition in short supply these days, we know ammo production is on people&#8217;s minds. Top industry leaders have said the USA will face ammo shortages well into 2021. So ammo-makers big and small are ramping up production to meet demand. If you&#8217;re curious how ammunition is created on the assembly by a relatively small, speciality manufacturer, watch the video below to see the entire process, start to finish.</p>
<p>This video from <a href="https://www.fogammo.com/" target="_blank">Fog Ammunition</a> reveals how .223 Rem ammo is made. Starting with boxes of bullets and bags of cartridge brass, this video shows how components are bulk-sorted, then .223 Rem ammunition is produced on a modern, linear multi-stage loading machine. In assembly-line fashion, cases are primed, powder is added, bullets are placed, final seating depth is set, and then the case is crimped.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve never seen an automated loader in action you should definitely <strong>watch this video</strong>. With this kind of machine, a new round is produced every second or so (<strong>see video 1:15 to 1:55</strong>). The .223 Remington ammunition featured in this video is loaded with Sierra BlitzKing bullets. Fog offers both rifle and pistol ammo loaded with quality components.</p>

<p>This <strong>.308 Winchester</strong> model took on a different approach by only cutting the brass case and displaying the full bullet, primer and powder load. A spec amount of powder was used to create the model powder form. An estimated 10% volume was added during the forming process, along with an undetermined amount of air pockets.</p>

<p>This bisection is a <strong>9mm Luger Jacketed Hollow Point</strong> round with flake powder held together with super glue. After this self-defense round was cut by a trained professional the round was polished by hand. This might look like stick powder, but those are in fact flakes stacked up in cross-section. Designed in 1901 by Georg Luger, this popular cartridge is used by civilians, military, and law enforcement.</p>

<p>For this model of the <strong>.300 AAC Blackout</strong> (aka 300 BLK), a Dremel tool was used to create a pie cut within the bullet and brass case. A measured amount of power, roughly 65% of spec charge, was placed inside the case with super glue. This cartridge was originally optimized for subsonic use with a suppressor, so the amount of powder used is small relative to the nominal case capacity. That leaves more room for the relatively large .30-caliber bullet.</p>

<p>Last but definitely not least is the <strong>.50 Caliber BMG</strong> round (aka .50 Browning Machine Gun). Famed for its wartime use in the M2 Machine gun, the .50 BMG round is also used in civilian Long Range competitions. A typical .50 BMG cartridge holds over 225 grains of powder. That’s almost ten times the amount in a 5.56&#215;45 NATO Round! To demonstrate the size of the .50 BMG, check out that .223 Rem for comparison.</p>

<p>With ammunition in short supply these days, we know ammo production is on people&#8217;s minds. Top industry leaders have said the USA will face ammo shortages well into 2021. So ammo-makers big and small are ramping up production to meet demand. If you&#8217;re curious how ammunition is created on the assembly by a relatively small, speciality manufacturer, watch the video below to see the entire process, start to finish.</p>
<p>This video from <a href="https://www.fogammo.com/" target="_blank">Fog Ammunition</a> reveals how .223 Rem ammo is made. Starting with boxes of bullets and bags of cartridge brass, this video shows how components are bulk-sorted, then .223 Rem ammunition is produced on a modern, linear multi-stage loading machine. In assembly-line fashion, cases are primed, powder is added, bullets are placed, final seating depth is set, and then the case is crimped.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve never seen an automated loader in action you should definitely <strong>watch this video</strong>. With this kind of machine, a new round is produced every second or so (<strong>see video 1:15 to 1:55</strong>). The .223 Remington ammunition featured in this video is loaded with Sierra BlitzKing bullets. Fog offers both rifle and pistol ammo loaded with quality components.</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s something you don&#8217;t see every day &#8212; the inside of loaded cartridges, sliced halfway through. This lets you see how bullet core, jacket, cartridge case, powder, and primer all fit together. Give credit to the folks at <a href="https://www.fogammo.com/blogs/news/cut-in-half-six-popular-hunting-shooting-and-self-defense-rounds" target="_blank">FOG Ammunition</a> for creating this interesting series of cut-through ammo images. We show four cartridges here: the .308 Winchester, 9mm Luger, 300 BLK, and .50 BMG. You&#8217;ll find two more (the .223 Remington and .45 ACP) at <a href="https://www.fogammo.com/blogs/news/cut-in-half-six-popular-hunting-shooting-and-self-defense-rounds" target="_blank">www.FogAmmo.com</a>.</p>
