Thread: Projectile manufacturing

It works at a very small scale so economy of scale can only help.

We all really like flinging bits of copper and lead at stuff.

You make an excellent point regarding Trueflight. They are flat out exporting apparently.

As manufacturing goes, stamping and pressing things is at the basic end as we are talking about non bonded swaged jackets. These can be made in a hand press.

Be a fun thing to try crowd fund at whatever scale you could get it working. Get the projectiles designed as a kiwi project, write about the whole process in one of the magazines, including testing, then use that exposure to crowdfunded capital for mass production and tender for a company to do it.

First step is development. Basic equipment, have the projectile designed, dies manufactured to make then and the billets and jackets. You would be at the Targex scale at this point.

Second step is crowd fund to upscale.

Alternatively you work with Bryn and try and convince him to grow. Then it's a matter of making a projectile die design and supplying him with parts he currently buys in (jackets) made locally. Process is similar.

Scandinavian countries like Finland are no bigger than us and make target supplies for the globe and it's always in short supply.
