Ok, I still don't get it. How can there be any doubt that shenanigans took place? It's sounding like a bait and switch scheme combined with a way to have others providing him with free financing for whatever it is he was really doing.
If his story was legit and the reloading manufacturer accidentally used his crate of primers, why would they be replacing them at a higher price? That makes no sense at all. I can see them replacing the ginex primers with a different brand, but they made the mistake, they would replace them and offer a discount if anything.
Am I missing something?
