Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention provides a method of making a polymeric ammunition cartridge having wicking texturing about the projectile aperture.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of making a polymeric ammunition cartridge comprising the steps of:\n molding a primer insert by injection molding by injecting a feed stock comprising one or more powders and one or more binders into the primer insert injection mold, removing the primer insert from the primer insert injection mold, removing the one or more binders from the primer insert and sintering the primer insert, wherein the primer insert comprising a top surface opposite a bottom surface and a coupling element that extends from the bottom surface, wherein the coupling element forms an outer surface opposite an inner circumferential surface, a primer recess in the top surface that extends toward the bottom surface, a primer flash aperture positioned in the primer recess to extend through the bottom surface, a primer flash aperture groove positioned in the primer recess around the primer flash aperture, and a locking groove that extends circumferentially about the top surface; molding from a first polymer composition a polymer ammunition cartridge by overmolding a polymeric middle body over the primer insert at a first end and a polymeric coupling region at a second end, wherein the first polymer composition is overmolded and extends over an outer surface of the primer insert to the flange and extends over an interior surface of the coupling region to the primer flash hole aperture, wherein the first polymer composition extends from the polymeric coupling region to the primer flash hole aperture and to the primer flash aperture groove to form a flash hole; forming a polymeric projectile end component from a second polymer composition, wherein the polymeric projectile end comprises a projectile end coupling region that extends to a shoulder region that reduces to a neck region having a projectile aperture; and coupling the projectile end coupling region to the polymeric coupling region to form a propellant chamber that extends from the primer flash hole aperture to the projectile aperture.
