Abstract: This invention relates to a improvements relating to munitions, specifically to coating small arms ammunition with decoppering agents, as a replacement in lead free ammunition. There is a method of manufacturing a coated metallic projectile for a rifled barrel, comprising; providing a metallic projectile cup with a coating of a decoppering agent located thereon, to provide a coated metallic projectile cup; causing the coated metallic projectile cup to be drawn through a plurality of dies to form a drawn coated metallic projectile.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of improved ammunition production, more specifically to an improved pressed metal head component suitable for a polymer tube cartridge The invention relates to a method of drawing and forming a metal head unit for use with a polymer case to form a polymer cartridge for use in a rifled barrel, comprising the steps of i) providing a metal cup drawing it through one or more dies to provide a case tube, wherein the case tube has a closed head end with a first outer diameter and an elongate open end, ii) trimming the elongate open end to form a metal coupling protrusion, said metal coupling protrusion with a second outer diameter, wherein the first diameter and second diameter are the same, iii) forming, a primer cavity into the closed head end, iv) forming internal and external features in the closed head end, v) forming by a heading process, an enlarged head rim on the closed head end, such that said enlarged head rim has a third diameter which is larger than the second diame
