White river primers

[JB10]

I picked up a box of these to try out. Has anyone gotten a chance to try them? Might be a month before i get a chance to test them out.

Do a search on here, there was a member who toured there plant and I believe he was texting them sometime back

Yes. Mine were a snug fit but seated OK. They all went bang & the SD/ES was reasonably decent in the small test sampling.

I recently bought 3,000 of the LR primers. How or why they've been released to retail outlets, I really don't care. I'll be testing them in the coming weeks in 7-6.5 PRC, .260 AI and 6XC. I will test them alongside CCI-200, S&B LR primers, Federal 210Ms and Winchester LR. That they are made in...

I've sampled them but not done enough conclusive testing either way at this stage. They definitely seat very "Snug" and in some cases, may be a little thicker as well. I plan to do some more testing in a few weeks once I've got some overseas travel out of the way.

Apparently they are also looking at making powder which could be a very handy option.

The SR behave and feel like a CCI SR.

I sampled them in several different rounds and compared them to known loads with my normal primers. They worked good and shot good. Didnt have any seating issues with them for me

Look like decent prices overall. So, I did order some LR and SP ones to try out and compare. Nice website and a good supply of items listed, even tho some are showing out of stock. Like the fact they are in the USA.

I have shot a large amount of them. Highly recommended. Keep in mind, what you are buying is factory or OEM overruns.

They are built south of me. There also buildings a new plant. Going to make single base smokeless propellants.

I found the LR primers to fit quite tight in my necked up 6.5 PRC lapua brass. I used my CPS to prime them and I was seating with too much force because the shell holder left marks on the other side of the rim. Then my accuracy one primer measuring tool had difficulty I think because of that. They shot well but were kind of a PITA. YMMV

I've loaded and shot 600 small rifle primers from these folks in my .223 rifles. I can't tell the difference from my usual CCI primers. I have not chronoed my loads but the seem to shoot the same.

"Apparently they are also looking at making powder which could be a very handy option.'

Are they going to produce their own nitrocellulose?

Couldn't tell you sorry.

I’d be interested to know the cup thickness

As I said in another thread on these, it's their height rather than diameter that was the issue. In the end, I had to use a Sinclair carbide pocket reamer on the Lapua PRC brass to get them to seat flush. About 10-15% were proud to the point of wouldn't chamber before reaming, even with the base somewhat crushed. No issue after the reaming.

They shoot well, just as good as 210Ms and BR2s.

Exactly they are simply too tall and required too much crush for Lapua 6.5 PRC brass. I went back to GM210

 

[ChrisNZ]

Great you can get the 210Ms. It'd be at least three years since I've seen them here BR2s no better
