This is good news. I wish someone would open a few powder mills and get us back to normal on that front.

Needed to supply the Republic of Texas armory?

don,t cheer to much, they are not going to make them to lower the prices. they see a plan to make money. it may put more primers in the supply chain, but i don,t see their primers being sold for much of a price reduction.

This plus the new Hornady primer plant and maybe there will be some progress on getting ammo back in stock. This is very good news.

Is the price of primers tied to the prime rate?

Regardless, the addition of 400 jobs should be a boom for the Hooks, TX economy.

More primers in the "system" is a good start. I hope they provide some data that can be used for comparitave purposes. For one, I was satisfied with "pre-Covid" primer pricing.
