True. Around here if one goes up a few cents or a dime, all the others go up as well, usually the same day.Not always. Look at all the gas stations
I should have said competition is usually good for the consumer, lol!

They have WRE LR primers in stock $550/5000 - https://republicammunition.com/product/whiteriver-large-rifle-primers/No clue they didn’t just start making LRPs right out of the gate.
As long as they’re fully seatedI’d try some for sure, never hurts to try.
OEM only? So scrubs like me can't buy them? I'd think about buying 5000 and splitting them up among friends.They have WRE LR primers in stock $550/5000 - https://republicammunition.com/product/whiteriver-large-rifle-primers/
BTW, Ginex LR primers for $500/5000 - https://republicammunition.com/product/ginex-large-rifle-primers/
Guilty!!!!As long as they’re fully seated
We had discussion of white box "OEM" packaging that was originally meant for "OEM only" but with shortage, they became available for sale (Supply and Demand thing).OEM only?
I've always known it to mean "original equipment manufacturer" at least in the automobile world.OEM only? So scrubs like me can't buy them? I'd think about buying 5000 and splitting them up among friends.
I think the "OEM only" tag is referring to the bulk ordering info right below the tag.OEM only? So scrubs like me can't buy them? I'd think about buying 5000 and splitting them up among friends.
If they want to really print money they should be making large rifle primers.
Yeah I don’t question their legitimacy but the primer outfit sells through one retail outlet here and then apparently a number of others 10000 miles away in NZ & AU. Yet they also said no retail for all of 2024.I've always known it to mean "original equipment manufacturer" at least in the automobile world.
I put 5000 in my cart, came up to $600.00 after shipping & hazmat.
They take CC so seemed legit, although I didn't purchase or even put my info in.
Shipping was a raping at $36, however hazmat was only$14.95.

I’ll quit now.
I hope so.Marketing is full of different dynamics.... and contractual obligations. They may have made a pre-production deal to raise capital with the people they are selling their product to, now.
I remember and yet am still skeptical.Back when they were sending me a sample to prove that they were real, the rep said they were shipping multi-pallet orders US and abroad.
Interesting.If it matters, the only people using them that I have first hand accounts from other than Jim Watson here on THR, are all manufacturers and all getting them on OEM accounts, and apparently they are getting them for far less than the one US retailer that's carrying them so far...like .03 to .05 ea for SP and LP. But they are buying in pretty big volumes, and all signed no-resale agreements. It's been a decade since you could get CCI OEM at less than .03, so definitely some high hopes for this company ramping up production enough to make a dent in the competition. Definitely a good sign that Republic Ammunition is selling for .06 ea before shipping/hazmat, which is pretty decent for retail these days I think. Their shipping is a tad steep, but their hazmat is only 14 bucks.
If the trail of lawsuits and public-holdings documents I found are accurate (and my research abilities are open to scrutiny) it seems like WRE is using equipment designed for SIGArms USA which allows anyone capable of forming a coherent sentence (sorry @Mark_Mark ) to open up a “primer factory.” Pre-mix primer compound, paper tape, and brass strips go in one end and finished primers come out the other. The design is ingenious. The engineer who came up with it was contracted by SIGArms but seems to have gone rogue. “Seems” because there are lawsuits involved and both sides have legitimate claims. I did all of my research using Goggle and an old HP NetBook running Solus Linux on a slow WiFi connection so take the above with a grain of salt-lick. Your results may vary.Interesting.
When Midway, or Midsouth, or Brownell's, or Graf's, or Natchez, or BPS, or Powder Valley, or Outdoor Limited start selling them, I'll be closer to believing.
What does English Grammar gotta do with making good Primers! ask the Italian Guys!If the trail of lawsuits and public-holdings documents I found are accurate (and my research abilities are open to scrutiny) it seems like WRE is using equipment designed for SIGArms USA which allows anyone capable of forming a coherent sentence (sorry @Mark_Mark ) to open up a “primer factory.” Pre-mix primer compound, paper tape, and brass strips go in one end and finished primers come out the other.

Possible angle, WRE has been exporting rifle primers to NZ for NZ F-Class Open shooters or the NZ F-Class Open team......Now, what’s the NZ angle?
And don't leave out D&M Holdings, which seem to be part of this whole mess as well, their website and hosting are all done by the same as White River...and they used the same template for both. D&M put itself out there as a turn key "let us set you up in the ammunition industry" company.If the trail of lawsuits and public-holdings documents I found are accurate (and my research abilities are open to scrutiny) it seems like WRE is using equipment designed for SIGArms USA which allows anyone capable of forming a coherent sentence (sorry @Mark_Mark ) to open up a “primer factory.” Pre-mix primer compound, paper tape, and brass strips go in one end and finished primers come out the other.

I get that part—for some strange reason I read forums in NZ and AU discussing these primers.Possible angle, WRE has been exporting rifle primers to NZ for NZ F-Class Open shooters or the NZ F-Class Open team.
