Please tell those fine people at CCI that there are a lot of people who appreciate them making fine 22 and Blazer Brass

Manufacturing always blows my mind. It's crazy to think that someone years ago came up with a bunch of one off machines to do a specific task. So cool!
-
I would love to have that pallet at the end of this vid.
-
I really appreciate what these guys do for me and the masses because this is my favorite ammunition brand. I wish CCI and Speer another 65+ years of great service.
-
Kind of unbelievable their so cheap. It is more work than I thought.
-
Brother, that's awesome that you got to go through the whole process. There's no one else on YouTube that deserved such a close look. You were probably like a kid in a candy store!!
-
Last thing you want to hear in the ammunitions plant..."You're Fired". Sorry could not resist. Interesting tour. It always amazes me the engineering minds it took to build these machines.
-
All I see is FREEDOM being produced!!

LOL the guy's thinking at 4:50 "dont say explosion, dont say explosion, dont say explosion"

CCI is the only 22LR ammo I have shot that has never had a single failure. CCI Mini Mag is my favorite & it works great!
-
The .22 one of greatest calibers ever made. Love me my plinkers.
-
22plinkster's version of "How It's Made" - I really enjoyed learning how .22 is made at CCI. Thanks for producing and sharing!
-
The amount of lead for ONE DAY blew my mind.
-
"Greatest employees in the industry!" That's high praise Bill!

WOW! What an operation! And I REALLY appreciate every bit of it, as I am one of the beneficiaries! Also a plug for one of my FAVORITE practical rounds where I live, CCI "Pest Control" made, I Believe in Idaho. My neighbor and I nearly worship the stuff. .22 LR #12 shot shells - about the consistency of sand. I have used it INSIDE of my barn with concrete floor to take out a snake at about 30 inches range. Obliterated the rattler's head with NO splatter back and NO damage of any kind to my truck that was barely 36 inches away. I have also taken obstinate birds inside of that same steel barn with the stuff with ZERO collateral damage. I can't even locate where the pellets hit the steel roof when I climb up and look carefully on a ladder. But one shot, from my Single Six and the bird dropped immediately. To any snowflakes that might bemoan my "cruelty": The birds will fly into the barn through the open door and I can chase them around and around with a length of plastic conduit long enough to touch the inside of the roof and they WILL NOT fly out through the fully open 10 ft X 11 ft door. I can chase them for 10 minutes or more - to the point I'm exhausted. They cannot be left in there, because when I close the door they have no way out and they crap all over every thing - including all of my wood working equipment. I do my best to keep the door closed as much as possible but they still occasionally get in. They usually can be chased out if I see them fly in and start chasing them right away. After they've been there for 5 or 10 minutes they will almost never leave.

I work in a factory that makes road signs but I’d quit to work in an ammunition factory in a heartbeat

Plinkster, I love your videos, but this one is special. The compliments about the employees at CCI were obviously heartfelt. Heck, you looked like a kid in a candy factory!

My grandpa used to work at the CCI plant back when it was just Speer. He made bullets at first and later moved on to primers. A few years ago I saw a video of the CCI plant so I showed it to him. A lot of the machinery he used there 50 years ago was still there. Our last time out to Lewiston we wanted to get a tour but unfortunately they were closed and we had to go home before they would be back in business.

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. Economy in volume. Gunpowder and lead!

The best ammo video I've seen, really enjoyed it! Thanks to all the fine folks at CCI for making a superior product, and thanks to you, 22plinkster, for sharing this... Semper Fi!
