So the spec is often set rather generously to avoid scrap, and the testing is often used to sort the really good product from the just barely acceptable. That is a wasteful process, because by the time you discover that something is wrong you have already made a lot of product that is now scrap. The simple and old-fashioned method of quality control is setting a standard and then testing the finished product to see if it is in spec. However, it may cause your eyes to glaze over – proceed at your own risk. I think it is worth taking a moment to describe the statistical science behind this company, because that is really the heart of what makes it so good. He has a far deeper understanding of the subject than I do, but I was at least able to keep up with the main concepts. When Justin discovered that I have an engineering degree and a basic understanding of industrial process control, his eyes lit up and his brain kicked into overdrive. The testing is done with real rifles (Tikkas, mostly) in sleds in an indoor tunnel range at 100 yards. Not when it falls out of spec, but when it is statistically trending away from the expected standard. The short version of how they do this is that they test ammo continuously during production and stopping the line any time something starts to deviate too much. 223 ammunition, and it’s not just marketing BS. No, we can do it – but nobody bothered to until Eagle Eye.Įagle Eye guarantees 1/2 MOA accuracy with both they. Is it really true that with nearly 200 years of practice we still can’t have industrial ammo production match the quality of a guy in a room with a commercial digital scale? Have you ever wondered why it is taken for granted that handloading will produce more consistent ammo than factory production? As a society we have been perfecting the science of making identical copies of things ever since the M1819 Hall Rifle established truly practical interchangeable parts. The idea behind Eagle Eye is to take ammunition manufacture, an industrial process that hasn’t changed much since World War II, and subject it to a modern understanding of quality and process control.
What does this have to do with ammunition? Everything, because ammunition manufacture is entirely an exercise in consistency and precision.
Justin Brown, the surprisingly young company President, looks like he belongs in Silicon Valley, and speaks like he belongs in front of the blackboard in a college calculus classroom. That should pique your curiosity – I know it perked up my ears. Eagle Eye Ammunition wasn’t started by a businessman or an opportunistic investor or a corporate committee – it was started by a scientist.
