Fortunate characters may have access to the machinery and tooling of certain factories, enabling a range of '''advanced services''' that may allow handloaders to manufacture their components straight from raw materials. Access to these services should be ''restricted'' to most characters, but makes for a good quest reward.
Three services can be provided by an '''ammunition factory'''([[Aosaidan]], [[Ellen Sector]]):* '''Factory-assisted handloading''': If you have the components, but no kits, or if you simply want the hassle of loading ammunition to be handled by machines, you may deliver all compatible components to a factory, which will load any quantity of ammunition for you in [[Time|1 day period]]. Please note that ammunition obtained this way will '''not''' result in gaining Skill Points, since you are not loading it yourself. This service costs [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''0.10''' per round of ammunition loaded + all necessary components.
* '''Case and hull manufacture''': Detailed in its own section below
* '''Projectile manufacture''': Detailed in its own section below
One additional service can be provided by an '''explosives and propellants factory'''([[Littleton]]):* A '''powder and primer shop''', which offers every type of primer and every type and quality of powder in large quantities and at a discount (usually 30% off) compared to gun shops and weapon shops, as they are manufactured on site.
== Case and hull manufacture ==
It is possible for a factory to manufacture casings and hulls straight from raw materials. All <span style="color:#0000AA">'''(P)'''</span>istol <span style="color:#AA0000">'''(R)'''</span>ifle caliber casings are made out of brass, whereas <span style="color:#00AA00">'''(S)'''</span>hotgun caliber hulls are made out of brass and plastic, with the exception of [[12 gauge CAWS]] hulls, which are 100% brass.
This service is 100% free, but relies on bringing your own materials.
Requirements:
* Select a [[ammunition|suitable caliber]] (all except [[.22 Long Rifle]], [[4.2x30mm R Golden Gun]] or , [[4.73x33mm Caseless]], or [[10x24mm Caseless]])
* Bring [[Valuables#Metal bars|brass bars]] to be cut and shaped into cases or hulls
* If the selected caliber is [[12 gauge]], [[20 gauge]] or [[.410 bore]], you also need [[Crafting items#Ingredient items|boxes of plastic sheets]]; 1 plastic sheet will be used per hull

Like with cases and hulls, it is possible to manufacture projectiles from raw materials. Different projectile types require different raw materials.
This service is also 100% free, but relies on bringing your own materials.
Raw materials used:
<span style="color:#0000AA">'''(P)'''</span>istol projectiles:
* T: '''80% Lead + 10% Copper + 1 Tracer charge per bullet'''
* Lead, LSWC, LSWCHP: '''100% Lead'''
