    Republic seems to have a few brands of large rifle primers , but at the current price I am not buying yet , prices have came down on the small primers so am hoping the large rifle will drop some , I would expect the white river primers to be fine .

    Regarding the LR's, went in on a group buy with fellow club members (20K) from local distributor. I haven't had a chance to shoot any that I bought. But reports from others have been good w/no issues. Note: My fellow shooters have been using these in wood guns (Garand, M1A's 03A#'s and the the like) in local CMP matches. I intend to do the same. During these matches I have not witnessed any misfires, slamfires, etc. with their use.

    Conclusion: The omens, signs and portents are good for this primer, at least for my intended use.

    There are several notes on several forums, but did not find an advertisement listing for retail sales. No telling why they are not apparently bought wholesale for retail sales, usually has more to do with bulk pricing and competition than anything else. we have had a lot of foreign primers show up, when the prices got to where they could make some real money here. Prices have been coming down gradually, between new contracts by the Feds.
    Fiocchi just openned their primer manufacturing plant in Little Rock, Arkansas. They announced in 2022 that they were building it, and broke ground in early 2023. I'm guessing it is up and running now, because I have seen new package Fiocchi primers on the market suddenly.

    Could White River Energetics be part of Fiocchi? Or maybe they are partnered in some way?

    No, definitely 2 different companies in different facilities within Arkansas.

    Got 10K LRP yesterday - better than running around to every shop in town to see if you can buy a hundred.
