An assembly process is described for producing an ordnance projectile wherein the projectile maintains a compressive force on an explosive body carried therein throughout an anticipated operational temperature range. The process includes raising the temperature of the hollow projectile body to an elevated temperature, cooling the explosive body to a temperature below a lowest anticipated operating temperature of the projectile, nesting the cooled explosive body within the hollow projectile body while the projectile is at the elevated temperature, securing the explosive body and the hollow projectile body together, and normalizing the temperature of the nested bodies by allowing them to come to a common temperature, typically room temperature. Different thermal expansion characteristics of the inner and outer bodies will result in the projectile maintaining a compressive force on the explosive body at normal temperatures. |

A method of supplying a rifle with cartridges includes providing classes within a group of cartridges. The classes are classified by specific and precisely graduated increments of propellant load contained in the cartridges, or by formulation of propellant, of each class relative to the cartridges of each other class. The user can test fire a rifle with multiple classes of the group and record the accuracy of the firing. A class of the group can be then chosen for a particular rifle based on accuracy of the rifle in the test firing. |

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. |

An automated granule portioning system includes at least one volumetric measuring chamber capable of adjusting the volume of the chamber automatically to a programmed target volume and arranged to receive a first portion of granules into the chamber to fill the target volume. A transport system automatically delivers the target volume of granules from the chamber to a weighing device. A granule metering device dispenses granules and, depending on a signal from the weighing device that the first portion of granules is below a programmed target weight, dispenses granules to the first portion to increase the weight to achieve a second portion having the target weight. |

This invention relates to a material feeder system and method of use. The present invention relates particularly to a particulate feeder system that includes, among other features, one or more: feeder assemblies for advancing material that incorporate a spool having a channel disposed within its outer circumference for advancing material, the spool having a plurality of circumferentially spaced contours configured so as to not form transverse barriers within the channel; motors configured to connect to the feeder assemblies; and scales for weighing advanced material. The system also includes a computer in communication with the one or more motors and scales, and capable of performing operations to advance a predetermined material weight as well as various related operations. The invention also includes a method using the above. |

A casing for use in a cartridge for a firearm comprises a sleeve and attached base. The sleeve has cylindrical portion with a mouth for holding a bullet and an opposing bulkhead from which extends a nipple. At the terminal end of the nipple is a lip that radially decreases in thickness and has curved surface portions; the lip forms a first seal region within a passageway that runs through the base. Preferably a second seal zone around the nipple near the bulkhead. A bulkhead comprises a circumferential wave or ridge that creates a hollow on the surface facing the base. A sleeve is preferably made of austenitic stainless steel that has differential hardness and magnetic properties along the sleeve length; and the base has a hardness less than any portion of the sleeve. |

A ammunition loading machine is provided. The ammunition loading machine includes a base frame. A rake assembly is mounted to the base frame and configured to index a linear row of cases along a first linear axis. A platen assembly is also mounted to the base frame and is movable relative to the base frame along a second linear axis that is orthogonal to the first linear axis. A propellant hopper is fixedly mounted to the base frame. The platen assembly is movable relative to the propellant hopper to transfer propellant from the propellant hopper to a propellant filling mechanism that is movable with the platen assembly. The rake assembly is adjustable to accommodate multiple different sizes of cartridges. The rake assembly and platen assembly are commonly linked to a cam drive mechanism for simultaneously moving the rake assembly and the platen assembly. |
