REMANUFACTURED AMMUNITION vs RELOADED AMMUNITION
RELOADED AMMUNITION:
Reloaded ammunition is ammunition that is produced in lower volumes using a hand operated single or multi stage consumer or hobbyist machinery. The use of these types of machines places some limiting factors on the final product that can be produced.
REMANUFACTURED AMMUNITION:
Commercially Remanufactured Ammunition is ammunition that is produced using specialized automated commercial equipment by a federally licensed and insured manufacturer. All remanufactured ammunition is produced under stringent quality control processes that ensure that all of the SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufactures Institute) specifications are complied with. Additionally, the once fired brass case used in remanufactured ammunition are preprocessed on specialized case processing equipment that transforms the case to “like new brass” condition. This case preprocessing is one of the big differences between reloaded ammunition and remanufactured ammunition.
FACTORY NEW AMMUNITION:
Factory New Ammunition is ammunition produced using the same specialized automated commercial equipment. The only difference between factory new and remanufactured ammunition is the brass case. In factory new ammunition, a brand new never fired case is used, besides that all of the other components used, i.e. the primer, powder, and balls are identical.
