Peterson Brass Article - New Caliber Development

Interesting article from Perterson on how they develop new cartridge brass.

Making a New Caliber

Every time we announce a new caliber we’ve put into production, we get hundreds of calls, emails, and social media comments asking why we didn’t go a different direction – why that caliber and not their favorite caliber?

Their accuracy and precision article is very interesting too.

What's the difference between accuracy and precision when shooting at long distances? We break it all down.

Maybe this will help the boycott clan understand what goes into making/developing a product....

Nice
I emailed them to start making 218 Bee brass.

I don't trust a brass maker that doesn't understand the difference between CALIBER and CARTRIDGE, and who either won't disclose or doesn't know their alloy.

I'm not sure the "exact" alloy is as critical as the steps involved in forming the cartridge case, both of which are most likely proprietary.

 

[Rhett Crider]

Correct me if I'm wrong but Cartridge is actually a loaded bullet, caliber is the barrel bore or bullet diameter. Chamber would seem to be the correct termination here.

Yes, makes it tough to read.

For sure tough to read knowing the difference. But I am sure glad I bought the following "caliber" brass from them: .270Win, 30-06 and 300WM. Incorrect Terminology won't stop me from buying their brass. Why on earth would any company disclose their proprietary manufacturing process to the internet? Its called Confidential Business Information (CBI) in manufacturing and if handed out the Chinese will be making it by next week.

I bet Derek Peterson has received over 1,000 emails on his improper use of terminology and is sitting there embarrassed as all get out.

 

[Mikecr]

There is no good reason for the alloy to be a secret.

 

[Mark37082]

I really don't care what they call it or the alloy content as long as it works well. I hear they are doing a 280ai run. I need another 100 just to be on the safe side.

Grammar aside. Those were both good articles, especially the one about making a new chambering.

Caliber, yes.......cartridge is more about the case, not what coal could be. I see several other peeps state cal and cartridge backwards.

30cal, so many to list: examples
300wm, 30cal
308win, 30cal
30AR, 30cal
1st is cartridge and 2nd is caliber/bore as you stated.

Actually, I should have stated "a loaded round of ammunition" not "loaded bullet". Another misused description. How about "cartridge case".
