Thread: Projectile manufacturing

Mmm, that Bryn. The same one that is running a logging gang over Summer & does cabinet making & rifle stocks etc over winter as there will never be enough money or quantities required in nz to make a living out of bullet making.
I do it as I enjoy making them & like making better bullets than the big multi million dollar companies in a little shed out the back of the section.
As to 7mm, sorry but not happening! 6.5mm probably will if I can get enough time, still on the to do list!
I've sat quietly watching this because I dont want to get dragged into a big discussion on the do's or don'ts of getting into bullet making & the profits etc.
I will tell you I can make far better money doing the other things I do.
If someone wants to try doing it for a living, go for it! Good luck!
I just like seeing shooters get their rifles shooting better with a kiwi made bullet.
To make a superior shooting bullet I can tell you they need to be made on one lot of dies & by hand is the only way you can "feel" something wasn't right with one.
I'm not going to get drawn into answering a whole heap of questions here as I don't want to be going over & over the topic.
I'll keep making them for as long as I enjoy it (or am allowed).
Hope this is of help.
Cheers, Bryn. Targex NZ
