    Well, the year 2018 ends. If anyone is interested, I have created, during this time, 30-35 thousand bullets. All bullets were taken by customers. Customers thank me for the products. My hobby tends to turn into work.



    I like it.

    How I worked with orders can be found here: https://forum.guns.ru/forummessage/153/940687-275.html

    Starting next year, in Russia, they “allowed” the independent equipment of ammunition for rifled weapons for the owners of such weapons. So I will have more orders.

    I like this one.

    Most likely, I will soon have competitors.

    I don’t really like it, but it’s an objective process. Invigorates.

    I am starting to think about the creation of J4.

    Life is going.

    I congratulate everyone on the upcoming new 2019!

    I wish you happiness!

    Do not be lazy. Laziness is the greatest sin.
    Good motivation for being more self sufficient. And to appreciate our hobby even more.

    There is also a wonderful motive: Running away from death - you will never run away completely, but in the process of escape, though, you will be warm.

    These are products .308 165 gr. and 175 gr. They are completely made of Russian material (lead and jacket).

    My plans for this year are implemented a little faster than I expected.

    No, sheet brass is cut into strips, then round "coins" are cut, and then the process is similar to the technology of Dave Corbin.

    During the hunting season you can train in hunting grounds; Outside the hunting season, the shooting range (where it is), the shooting club (where it is), the training ground of some military unit (if you can agree with the local leadership). And my products will now be tested by several volunteers from different regions of Russia. Then they will provide me with reports in the form of photographs of targets and, if the results are acceptable, the products will go into circulation. Every month I make about 4,000 bullets in stock. I have customers from all over Russia. I found myself an interesting activity.
