I was making an order of some brass today, and was thinking about Starline as a company.
Sierra Bullets was originally a California company, and I knew when they moved to a small town in
Missouri about an hour east of here. I went over after folks told me that they sold "seconds" bullets
at a discount. I have been buying their seconds since the early 90s, and had noticed that Starline
Brass, which I had never heard of in the 90s, was next door. Somebody mentioned that they
were also owned by the same family that owned Sierra Bullets., also moved from California.
Today I decided to see what I could find out about that, having taken the tour through the manufacturing
floor at Sierra a few years ago (interesting!), having friends who did precision machine work for them, and having
been a satisfied Starline and Sierra customer for many years. I ran into a video of the history of the two companies
which is interesting, but then they had a link to a video of the brass manufacturing processes.
I thought that folks here would find this manufacturing video pretty interesting. If you want to see the
history of the companies, I think there is a link there to that video, too.
