I have been searching for the manufacturer of pellet manufacturing machine since I owned my first air rifle 20+ years ago. So far I have not been able to see any info regarding this on www or through any book. I have also not came accross any design or blue print or sketch of the said machine anywhere.

Even the more difficult rifling machine & process is discussed in very detail at various websites but it is highly amazing that there is no mention of simple pellet making machine or it's manufacturer anywhere.

I hope many among us must be having lot of info regarding this subject & also hope that somebody will share the knowledge with us.

Looking forward to see a very detailed info regarding this topic in near future on this forum.

Not really that amazing, considering their low cost and ready availability? Since the investment would be totally prohibitive, there would be no point in "rolling your own". In a country not too far away air rifle pellets, hand-cast in a 12-pellet gang mold, were availble, though in no way comparable to the machine-made imported ones in uniformity or quality. Cheers.

Vogel (Germany) are reputed to make the best machines and unless I am mistaken both H&N and RWS pellets are made on Vogel machines.

Vogel also make their own brand pellets which are very highly thought off.

Thanks for all the replies. I am trying to locate the information sheer out of curiosity & zest for knowledge. I have no plans for manufacturing my own pellets. I just want to build a comprehensive knowledge base for all the streams of airgunning. I have a very good collection of articles, photos, books for almost all other factors such as different mechanisams, methods of airwepons but I am absolute zero on pellet factor hence I have started this topic. I request you all to share your valued inputs to this topic no matter how small or inferior they seem to you. They might be a first crucial step towards opening up a vast kowledge base.

I am aware about Corbin people, infact I had operated their reloading presses earlier but their pellet dies do not produce actual pellets as we see normally. Those can be called a kind of bullets as they do not have that typical shrunk belly & they are not on my agenda as they are meant for manual production & not high speed automatic production. I am also aware about vogel & have been writting to them for last 2 years with no replies from their side. This has further fired me up to collect as much info possible regarding this topic.
I hope everybody here will try to help me achieve my goals.
