Smashing video thank you, and thank you to NORMA for the access and giving you the opportunity to film.

Norma makes my favorite ammo. I've shot a lot of it at ranges, and I use their ammo for hunting almost exclusively. It's been a hot minute since Norma invited a film crew to their premises, I'm happy it was TGS's team. Special thanks to them for making my beloved .338 Win Mag, which is unfortunately not too popular in Europe.

@@Duschbag The .338 Win Mag was introduced by Winchester in 1958 for the Model 70 and was intended for big game hunting in the northern parts of the US. Its perfect bullet weight is considered to be 225 gr. .338 Lapua Mag and .338 Norma Mag actually have a .339 bullet diameter. The first one was developed for long-range military applications, its parent cartridge is the .416 Rigby and it's intended to be used with a 300 gr projectile. The second is geared more towards long-range competition shooting and has the most modern and efficient design.

Underrated ammo manufacturer!

I have watched enough episodes of "How it's Made" to have had a pretty good guess at ammunition manufacture, which I have thought about many times while handling ammo. I do some hand reloading and am always so impressed by the consistency of bulk ammo over the course of millions upon millions of rounds. I was always curious about the actual manufacturing process. This was a fascinating and informative video. Thank you!

Yes, perhaps to a certain point. But, the video producer has glossed over certain aspects. It was a Missed Opportunity to be very Scientific, which this video attempted, but failed. Be it for fear or favour. When it comes to The Real Bullet's, Education is Key! Which oddly enough should be a Duty on The Manufacturer, And, a Duty on the Rifleman using the Bullet's. Whilst, i Believe, That the Norma company had an intention, especially with use of Jello Targets, to show from a Scientific viewpoint, it was lost in translation into the end Video. Weapons, Rifles, Side arms, Long Range Rifles ALL Require Different Bullet's, which ideally the Manufacturer should have A Duty to Educate The Rifleman, at least the Civilian's. The Military would also be a Duty, which would require somewhat different delivery. Now, it is up to the various Manufacturers to Step Up to their DUTY!

I have watch a number of videos of ammunition factory tours but this is by far the best. Thank you.

Truly appreciate Norma's 22 match ammunition affordably priced decent accuracy in my rifles and usually available. Keeps the fun in and pain out of my rimfire experience.

God bless those in all the industries that are keeping hunting, competition, self-defense and every other form of the firearm industry alive around the globe.

TGS excells once again. TGS are raising the bar on You Tube Shooting content. Well done all.

I've gotten into reloading ammo with my dad, but this gives me a whole new appreciation for manufacturers

Some of the best brass for reloading is made by Norma. I rarely push brass past four or five loads, when it's Norma brass, I just keep going and going. It easily has twice the life use of reloads from other factories brass.

Thank you and Norma for the tour and info.

I am most impressed by those machines to make the bullets. Try inventing that!

Thank you for the tour, I especially appreciate the firing of the rounds.

This is absaloutly fantastic. The knowledge and skill in this factory is something else. This is by far the best video I have seen this whole year. Thank you 😊😊😊

As a toolmaker it was fun to see the line ammunition must be one of the most press and draw die heavy production lines out there from .22 lr to 155 mm and above

I bought some Norma bullets and the price but the performance was great no jambs out of 200 rounds and I didn’t know where they came from!

Norma ammunition has maintained an excellent reputation for decades.

Thank you for information of items we take for granted.

I have loaded my own ammunition for years, but I never knew how bullets were manufactured - lots of sizing and re-sizing jackets & cores. Loved the video , learnt a lot.

Fantastic video Johnny. Imagine how long it took them to develop every step of production. It takes many years. The knowledge these guys have is astonishing. Love this factory tour mate.

Great ammunition, and Norma brass very tough and great for reloading.

Impressive operation

I’m surprised someone as versed in shooting knew so little about bullet design and using the right tool for the job. Great to see the differences so clearly in high speed gel!

1... I need to check the Norma reloading for their 30-06 loads for my M1. 2... Thought is was interesting that the test loads are pressed on what looks like either a Redding or RCBS press. 3...

@@virtuaguyverify if u want my opinion, their products are crap because their qc is garbage and they hire any idiots who don't give a crap about the job.

Ammo Inc don't make primers, not sure where they get theirs, but from what I heard they are trash.

Their cases are second to none, well with the exception of Lapua. Have shot Norma brass for years and their .30-06 is now on its 18th reload and STILL going strong, with ZERO case head separation. Just regular case length, and primer pocket check and occasional trimming. BEAUTIFULLY made, and was superb to watch this video and SEE it being made

Thank you for this informative and entertaining video.

Very good, I read a treatise on case composition years ago, but the interesting thing was how important it was to correct ratio of metals and alloys to make sure the casing didn't jam in the rifle mechanism. A bullet looks simple but there has been years ad years of experimentation and science behind every cartridge.

I enjoyed watching this episode

It boggles my mind to imagine some people had to devise & manufacture all the pieces, parts, gears, rods, tracks, tumblers, cutters, etc. to create all the machinery it requires just to mass-produce ammunition. And somebody had to assemble all the parts & make them work. And somebody else had to make whatever tools were needed to make all the machines continue operating, & somebody else did the actual operating & finally turning out this single product. 💥🤯💥
