An initiating device including at least one detonator, at least one booster charge and an action charge. The at least one booster charge is arranged such that, at the action charge initiates, the booster charge is free from disturbing edge effects that can have a disturbing effect on the action charge. A booster casing in which the booster charge is disposed is configured with a rear cylindrical part having a diameter D1, a front conical part delimited by a first circular limit face having the diameter D1, and a second circular limit face having a diameter D2, wherein the two limit faces are plane-parallel at a distance H1 from each other, wherein H1/D2 lies within a range 0.5-1.5. Also, a production method for producing the booster charge. |

Among other things, a digitally controlled actuator has a connector for coupling to a drive mechanism of an existing hand-driven cartridge reloader, to actuate a series of processing cycles of the reloader in which supplies of components are subjected to successive mechanical processing steps to produce reloaded cartridges ready for use. There are sensors associated with the actuator and the reloader to (a) acquire digital information that is indicative of a state of progress of each of the processing cycles and of conditions of the reloader related to the production of the reloaded cartridges, and (b) deliver the digital information to a digital controller for controlling the processing cycles of the reloader. The digital controller is connected to receive the digital information from the sensors and to control automatic operation of the reloader in successive processing cycles to produce reloaded cartridges without requiring human intervention. |

A gun powder transfer device includes a gun powder load chamber configured for receiving a quantity of gun powder from a powder measure; a gun powder exit aperture; and a gun powder release mechanism disposed between the gun powder load chamber and the gun powder exit aperture. The gun powder release mechanism is alterable between a closed state and an open state. In the closed state, the gun powder load chamber is isolated from the gun powder exit aperture such that none of the quantity of gun powder may be released from the gun powder load chamber. In the open state, the gun powder release mechanism provides a flow path for enabling the quantity of gun powder to be released from the load chamber and into communication with the gun powder exit aperture. |

A casing for use in a cartridge for a firearm comprises a sleeve and attached base. The sleeve is formed with a mouth for holding a bullet and an opposing bulkhead from which extends a nipple. The end of the nipple is flared radially outwardly within a passageway of the base, to form a special configuration lip and first seal. The nipple is shaped to make a second seal when press fitted into the passageway. A bulkhead is formed with a circumferential wave or ridge. A sleeve is preferably made from austenitic stainless steel that is worked to have differential hardness and magnetic properties along the sleeve length, with the nipple being of lesser hardness. |

A method of filling a projectile case with energetic material includes isostatically pressing a column of the powder to create a pre-formed billet (PFB). The single PFB is placed in and then pressed into the projectile case to create the finished warhead. The single PFB effectively fills a projectile case having a large l/d ratio. The single PFB eliminates the problems and poor quality associated with pressing multiple increments in a projectile case. |

Two methods of making subsonic ammunition articles are provided that size the cavity to the propellant charge. The first method includes molding a core sleeve comprised of a unified neck, cavity sized to the propellant charge volume and a trailing end with an ejector ring, primer seat and flash hole; then, molding a polymer based casing over the core sleeve except the neck and a portion of the trailing end; then, inserting the primer, propellant charge and projectile; thereby, completing a subsonic ammunition article with a rigid core and a polymer casing. The second method includes injection molding a polymer sleeve within the casing of an ammunition article around a core pull positioned within the casing to form a thicker casing wall and a propellant cavity the volume of which corresponds to a desired propellant charge. |
