New Ammunition plant coming to Oklahoma

[William Suter]

I may be behind the times but just saw a video about a new ammunition plant coming to Oklahoma, CBC Global Ammunitions. Going to start building in the 4th quarter in Prior Ok. Sounds like they produce Magtec ammo and will be doing mostly military ammo first. Everything will be done in house. Powder, brass, primers and bullets. Suppose to employ 350 people. That a big deal for a small town like Prior and a big deal for Oklahoma too.

Everything in House ? that's a tall order.. hope it goes well ...

Surprised they are producing their own powder & primers.

According to the article they plan to produce their own powder in house as well as primers. IIRC the plant was costing $300 million and will employ 350 people.

Magtec primers have been running in the low 40's. I'm going to try some soon.

Is Prior in tornado alley?

 

[William Suter]

I think the whole state is.

Is Prior in tornado alley?

I was thinking the same thing. The storms seem to be getting stronger. I was watching videos of the damage done in KY, man it is horrible.

Is Prior in tornado alley?

I'm in southeast Oklahoma and under a tornado warning as I type. NWS telling us to head for the hidey-hole.
