Laser ablation marks cartridge heads after forming, enabling flexible multi-caliber case use without weakening the head or risking ignition.
A fine-thread micrometer ram replaces coarse press adjustment to deliver repeatable cartridge resizing and bullet seating without extra dies.
A heading-based metal head unit forms enlarged cartridge rims for polymer cases without machining, cutting waste, cost, and line changes.
A rotatable shroud, bearings, and an adjustable case guide improve trim length control and keep ammunition case mouths square.
Two rotatable balancing rings with eccentric tungsten ballast let missiles correct static imbalance externally without added weights or disassembly.
A heading process forms an enlarged metal head rim for polymer cartridges, cutting machining time, equipment complexity, and waste.
