This new outfit supposed to be making ammo and primers. Has anyone tried the primers? I can't find large rifle primers anywhere! Does anyone know when Expansion primers will be available and where.?

I know this isn’t a sourcing thread but grafs has 5,000ct box of lrp for over $500 shipping + hazmat.
reloading unlimited had 1,000ct boxes for $185 shipping + hazmat.
I stopped reloading 308.

No news yet on when, where or if they will be available for retail. There’s some R-P, Win, CCI, and other LR showing up at the usual places - Grafs, Powder Valley, Midway, Midsouth, Bruno’s, etc. - but you have to keep your eyes open and be ready to pay. If you snooze, you lose.

Well this lack of primers is killing reloading especially for large rifle!

The good news is that for those who have primers bullet selection is starting to pick up.

The key phrase there is "supposed to be".

The company is under new ownership.
Whatever the last owners said is out the window.
New owners may not care at all about selling just primers.

You also said that on the early April thread on this subject—who, what, where, when?

Prior to 2021 is behind a pay wall.
Middle of 2021 to mid 2022 (name redacted) was running the company, the rest of 2022 "JFP securities LLC" was running it.
As of December 2022 they appear to be under new management yet again. Further details are behind a pay wall. Feel free to pay it and fill us in.

Spreading rumors isn’t helpful. If you don’t know, don’t pretend you do then hide behind, “Go pound sand” excuses.
A new company name doesn't necessarily mean anything. The parent company of the parent company of the company I work for literally has 100's of LLC's, Inc's, Corp's, DBA's, partnerships, brands, etc. Unless you know ownership has changed it's speculation.

At this point, anyone short on the harder-to-find types - LR/LP - is much better off looking at established retailers for in-stock availability and paying the going rate vs. searching the internet for rumors and speculation.

I got that info a corporate reporting/networking sight.
Further info is behind a pay wall. If it's really that important to you pay it and fill the rest of us in. Because I don't really care.

Richard Smissen (original owner) was charged with securities fraud in VA(details & link in earlier THR thread), he admitted no wrongdoing but paid a fine and landed in TX. In VA he was selling “shares” of reloading components but never delivered.
So, it wouldn’t at all surprise me if in TX he’s playing another game that might include changing company ownership or leadership to conceal something. But also he could have hoodwinked a new owner into buying. Either way fraud almost always bubbles to the surface.
In the meantime @N555 could you please provide the link to that source? I might be willing to pay.
