About this mod

Allows you to make cases from scrap metal and to melt down excess/unwanted cases TO scrap metal.

Permissions and credits
Exactly what it says on the tin: this mod allows you to make and break cases and hulls (yes, shotgun shells come in brass as well) from and to scrap metal at the reloading bench. Useful for handloaders who find themselves short on cases for rounds they want to use or want to make the most of excess ammo broken down for resources.

The number of cases of each type produced are guesstimations from the in-game round weight value, using half the weight of a given round type to determine how many cases of that type can be produced: one pound of scrap, thus, can produce 60 10mm cases, 57 .357 cases, 8 .50MG cases, 117 5mm cases, and so on. Melting down cases to scrap typically requires that value and one more case, save the .50MG since the case weight divvies up perfectly into one pound.

For those of you who were hoping for a little energy ammo love from this mod as well, I'm afraid this specific one won't be able to provide your fix. Tweaked and Enhanced EW Ammo Crafting, however, has got you covered, so mosey on over there if you're interested in the more exotic arms of Fallout.
