Thread: Primers soon available

https://whiteriverenergetics.com/

This is a new US facility and their primers will soon start ariving in AU. With luck NZ will also start getting a steady supply.

Been here for some time. Nice primer. The factory is essentially fully robotised.

Just looked. I hadn't noticed that. Anyway it's a sign globally production is growing. And that's a good thing.

Their packaging is quite nifty.

Anybody got any word on when any magnum rifle primers are gonna be available again? I heard a shipment was due 2024 but nothing more specific than that

I hope your info is good. I too would like some LR Magnum primers.
I asked Reloaders a few days ago if they had any update on Federal Magnums. Said they have no info at all and no idea of when any might land.
Sorry that's unhelpful.

There has also been two incidents in US involving primers. Both cases had a fatality.

Unless you are buying loaded Hornady ammo, this will not affect any of us. Hornady does not sell their primers.

That makes sense.

On second thoughts. If hornady want to continue to make ammo they will need to source primers from somewhere.
The production of their primers won't happen for a while.

"The State Fire Marshal Agency announced Monday that it was accidental, caused during the mixing of chemicals"

At what ridiculous price?

Bit of an update… May at the soonest for LRMP

“ We are hopeful to land these around the of May 2024. White River Energetics have finished manufacturing them, they are just waiting on the final US approval/clearance for sale and then export, which they are hoping to receive at the end of April.

I strongly recommend if you haven’t already to place a backorder through your local store if you want to secure some prior to their arrival. We know there has been a shortage of these throughout NZ and at this stage, these will be the only LRMP coming in.”

DG’s would have come by boat?
Maybe more than a month in shipping time?

We’re meant to get a shipment from these guys also. No dates being shared though.,,,
