$400 Million...That's a lot of modernization. That sounds like the scope of work done when a car company gets an assembly plant ready for a new model.

Read the article. They're modernizing equipment so they need less people to produce the same or more ammo.

Last line in the article would make one believe there is less of a need for ammo thus lower production numbers.

Automation is the standard for mass production anymore, less people and more machines equals more $$$.

Looks like it is mainly a plant whose purpose is to produce ammo for the the government.

Take orders from the public and contunie to employ. I bet that we could keep them busy.

The plant is federally owned, but Alliant leases it. It doesn't make any sense, given the market, to lay off anyone. Sure they have new equipment that doesn't require as many people but why not just keep the old lines running too? "obeyme's" fingers have to be in this, just like the apparent--and illegal--resumed destruction of used brass by DOD

Did you see the bends? A man could shoot a life time on one of them.

As far as the lay offs go that was just like Ford. We hooked up the new equipment and they laid of 100 people before they even had the equipment up and running. It is just how things are dun today. Get rid of people. They are just to much trouble.

Also Obammy may also being cutting production there, and have private vendors pick up the slack. As long as they're making ammo for the fed, it's less in civilians hands.
