QUALITY

All components ,going into the cartridge,go through strict quality checks and no deviation from the laid down parameters is permitted. Important Constituents of the cartridge like the cases, propellant and the percussion,caps are proof tested before use in the manufacture of the cartridges.The manufacture of the automatic loading machines in controlled atmosphere ensures uniform and highly consistent quality in the cartridges.Finished cartridges are subjected to 100% visual inspection to weed out defectives. Gauging of the cartg.Lots is done as per sample plan and proof firing is conducted on the finished cartg lots to ensure quality of performance for the cartridges for velocity, accuracy and pressure as per IS -2500. Cartridges, so found acceptable after such stringent inspection schedule are only released in the market.No doubt,therefore most customers prefer our cartridges only.

SAFETY

Our cartridges are packed in multicolored and attractive laminated cartons.25 cartridges are packed in one carton.A lot of 20 cartons holding 500 cartridges or a lot of 10 cartons holding 250 cartridges are first put in polythene bags and then heat sealed to avoid ingress of moisture. These polythene bags with 50 or 25 cartons are then packed in wooden boxes or pre-printed fibre board boxes respectively and duly strapped with steel or plastics tapes. The packing is quite secure and lasting.
