| Back in the days when Tommy Guns were much more common, ammo manufacturers made their ammunition more durable in order to withstand the slam cycling of the Thompson SMG without allowing the bullet to push back in the cartridge case. When a bullet pushes back in the case during the feeding cycle, it commonly causes a stoppage in firing of the firearm. These stoppages are irritating to the plinker, and could be deadly to the defensive shooter. In situations where only partial bullet set back occurred, the cartridge may still feed, but the firing pressure is increased, possibly to the point of case rupture, another dangerous situation for the shooter, and a very serious stoppage or breakage of the firearm can occur (and a good reason to always wear your safety glasses). |

| The wise solution ammo manufacturers came up with to stop bullet set back during feeding was to form an internal ledge inside the cartridge case to stop bullet set back when the bullet nose slammed into the feed ramp. A great solution to a serious problem, but it did require another stage in the ammo manufacturing process. This added to manufacturing costs in terms of both time and money. The short sighted solution by budget minded businessmen was to eliminate the anti bullet set back ledging stage in ammo manufacture. It probably saved them some time and money, but left shooters with less durable ammo. At this point in history, few, if any major ammo manufacturers offer this feature in their loaded ammo, including their lines of premium "defense" ammo. |

| This is a big problem for serious shooters, especially police, military, and defensive shooters. Often times firearms will be loaded and unloaded with the same top two cartridges from the magazine, thus causing small increments of bullet set back with each chambering. This often goes un-noticed and causes the shooter to be carrying the first two cartridges in their defensive firearm which may fail to feed when needed, or fire with dangerously increased pressure. An anti set back ledge inside the cartridge case provides resistance to this problem. |
|
| The anti set back ledge is such an important feature in creating reliable/durable ammo, that a modern solution had to be found which would allow serious shooters to incorporate the ledge into ammo that was already loaded. The solution is here in the form of a compact, heavy duty ledging machine suited to 45 ACP ammo. |
|
| Once the machine is properly adjusted, and the adjustments are locked in place, simply feed loaded cartridges into one side of the electric powered machine and they rotate through, and come out the far side properly ledged. 50 rounds can be done in about 5 minutes. |

| A must have for enhancing defense pistol ammo. |
