We came out with 115's and they came out with 124's. Our methods are completely different though. They are making theirs the traditional way (which isn't bad) and we are making ours a new way that is a little more efficient.
Right now our single machine is selling pretty much everything it can make in a single shift. I've actually got some more machines coming at the end of September/October and we may be making a 124 RN and FN too.
We are going to be doing a 124 grain premium HP in house. The bullet will be very similar to the one we sell now with some minor adjustments made to the jacket and the HP cavity in order to get some slightly better expansion out of them. That machine is supposed to be done by the end of the month. Either that or our 69 grain .223 bullet machine will be done. I told them to finish whichever could be finished first.
Anyway, we are going to be pushing the jacketed line hard now. As long as copper and lead stay relatively low, there is no reason we can't sell jacketed stuff at almost the same price as plated bullets. Obviously, the HP is a different story. The amount of work and tooling that goes into making premium HP is surprising.
