Assembly
All ammunition assembly requires
- priming the cartridge case (except rimfire - already primed ahead of time),
- charging the cartridge case with propellant,
- inserting the bullet or shot/wad charge,
- crimping and/or sealing,
- testing and inspection.
The cartridge assembly process depends on the cartridge class (rimfire, centerfire, and shotshell) and the type of machinery used.
