Why plated

The core is sealed in copper, base included.

Each core is electroplated after forming, so the copper layer covers the whole surface. There is no open base and no bare lead touching the bore.

Encapsulated core

Copper covers nose, shank and base. A good fit for indoor ranges and training ammunition where exposed lead is a concern.

Clean bores

The plated surface leaves less residue in the barrel than bare lead, so guns need cleaning less often.

Held to size

A precision restrike after plating brings every projectile back to its final diameter and profile.

Volume from one plant

Pressing, plating and finishing run in-house in Çerkezköy, with capacity for 70 million projectiles a year.

How it is made

Five stages, one building.

Every projectile passes through the same sequence on our line in Çerkezköy.

  1. Freshly pressed lead cores in a red machine hopper STAGE 1

    Rough press

    Cores are pressed close to final shape.

  2. Projectiles moving across a perforated vibratory deck STAGE 2

    Vibratory deburring

    Edges and burrs are removed before plating.

  3. Row of electroplating tanks under a gantry STAGE 3

    Electroplating

    A continuous copper layer is built over the whole core.

  4. Twin-station precision restrike press with its feeder bowls STAGE 4

    Precision restrike

    Final diameter and profile are set to tolerance.

  5. Copper-plated projectiles falling through a polishing screen STAGE 5

    Polishing

    A vibratory finish gives the smooth copper surface.
