The Equipment
THE MANUFACTURING OF OURS BUSHINGS
We purchase the cartridge's moulds in order to create our own bushings because they are among the most crucial parts of the cartridge.
bushings that offered ideal pressures, no gas waste, and opened at the appropriate time in line with the corresponding powders applied were the result of several competition tests that were modified and updated to our specifications.
The Manufacturing of our cartridge
For four main reasons, our cartridges vary from those sold by the several brands known in the global market:
1. We manufacture the boxes themselves - UNICIDATE;
2. Our cartridges are individually stamped with a traceability code that lets you know your complete history - SECURITY;
3. We use powders from multiple manufacturers to create different kinds of cartridges, whereas major brands only use powder that they make - VARIEDE;
4. In most commercial cartridges, we design them to be appropriate for the season in which they will be used. For example, even under perfect circumstances, a cartridge shot at 0°C and another discharged at 40°C will not be the same. The more amplitudes of 40ºC, the greater of a difference is made starting at 10ºC.
ON THE OTHER HAND, WE TAKE PRIDE IN BEING UNIQUE!
The Gallery of Shooting
As our shooting lab is located in the shooting gallery, this equipment is crucial! All of the components are connected to a software that uses computers to transmit the various shooting parameters. These include a fixed cannon with a pressure sensor installed, flash detectors that measure the gunpowder's burning time, and a cube made up of optical screens that measure speed and the impact plate of the shot with the corresponding speed sensors.
