Incredible! The automatic GP 11 loading machine at M+F Altdorf, circa 1982.
This amazing machine completes the creation of the rifle cartridge in several steps with an overall capacity of 1 cartridge every 0.5s!
- Cartridge case is fed into the machine
- Case neck is gauged and expanded-
- Powder charge is filled-in by weight
- Powder charge is tamped-down
- Projectile is seated and crimped
- Entire cartridge is gauged
Amazing stuff!

A look in the Federal Ammo Plant.Seems like the simular machine at around 4 minutes 30 seconds
