Do you expect the LRP to hit the USA reloading market soon?

Just got the first couple of thousand

I’m envious! Are they commercially available there?

 

[Walt Krafft]

They are only available to oem users now. It is a brand new facility from the ground up. They are slowly ramping up production. There is a lot of automation equipment to build and people to train.

An update on testing. The past few weeks, a couple of friends and I have tested both the small and large WRE rifle primers. We could tell no difference between them and the primers from other makers that we have been using.

Walt, my POC at D&M said they tested the pistol primers against CCI’s when they started making them. Glad to hear they are working just fine.

It's the first batch that have arrived. I hope it becomes a common occourance. We have seen part packets of primers being offered on local auction sites for the past few months.

I received a response to my e-mail from them. It states that ALL production for 2024 is going to current manufacturers and NEW manufacturers. This was for small rifle and large rifle primers.

What it means is that as soon as it opened someone came in and bought an entire years production of primers.

Anyone care to do that math?

What it means is, they caught up with orders and are releasing to the public now.

I use BR2 primers with 94gr of Rl33 and 175gr. Tested in -5°f. No problems.

Nice! I have used cci magnums and 215M’s but running low on both. I got a good load with retumbo and 180 bergers for the 28 nos maybe i’ll whip up 3 to see how it looks on chrono and paper

Explain please.

I really can’t, except to say you can deduce it from the email they sent you as to how they can appear in the wild occasionally.

Thanks. That helped me out.
