There is no secret to powder charging. The manufacturers use the same method as handloaders. Dump a volume of powder down a funnel and into a case. Nothing super about it.
The bullets, except Federal's HS series, are all available to handloaders. This includes the XTP, Golden Sabre, Gold Dot, Barnes, etc.
The low flash powder isn't really secret. There are canister powders that do this and give the same performance. The use of non-commercial powders, although exists, is not as prevalent as some make it out to be. For example, all Winchester brand ammunition uses Winchester brass, bullets, powder, and primers. The exact same components they use they sell to handloaders. This is nothing new or privileged.
One can take a Gold Dot bullet and load it to exactly the same velocity as factory ammunition.
In my opinion as an ammunition manufacturer, new brass is overrated and is unproven.
