Shiloh Rifle Forums

I just heard, but notice the * attached to the subject, that a firm in Tenn. is starting up to make nothing but primers.

OK. I heard this from a shooter's wife, that HE just got the news. and he is an avid shooter.

So, has anyone else heard about this and is there any truth to it?

Maybe ask her/ him to expand on the subject
And see if they can verify

According to a recent thread on Lever Guns, Lone Star Ammunition Plant is gearing up to make primers. For some reason, I cannot access the below link to the news article:

Good news.
Even if they focus on SR for the 'spray & pray' crowd it should free up some production elsewhere for the primers we use.

I use SR in my 204 and 22 Hornet, both bolt actions.

I do a lot of shooting with bolt action and semi auto rifles using 223 and 222 cases. I don't need to do any praying when using either. I usually hit what I'm shooting at due to superb accuracy from both and lots of inexpensive practice with both. Mb

2 bolt gun 223’s and a single shot , 204 varmint and m15 A2 equipped with a match barrel and a sniper scope
Nope no spray and pray with the sr primers here either

S.R.P.’s I use for 3 300 B.O. rifles, 2 .223 Rem. rifles,1 25-45 Sharps rifle, none of which are ‘spray and pray’ guns.

Two bolt guns 6 MM Creedmoor, and 6MM BR. Use Lapua brass With small rifle primers. No spraying, or praying here.

Ha !!
I got enthused about dragging my Marlin CLs out this winter and doing some shooting . 218 Bee, 25-20 and 32-20.

Since I was down to a little over 1000 small rifle primers I was glad when Shiptons in Billings had a shelf full of BR-4s. Only could afford one $110.00 brick.

So far, I've shot 3 32-20 rounds. At this rate I may run out by the year 2525 and will need to restock.
No spray and pray here either. ( Unfortunately)

2 bolts, 222 and 22 hornet, 1885 22 hornet, and a 223 sprayer for the running 200 yd coyote shots

But no shortage of sr primers here, probably around 12 bricks bought at a closing sale. Couldn't walk by the rack when they went below $5

Hey, I still have a couple bricks of them too.
I got rid of the SP-1 didn't like the black plastic stock and triangle forearm but kept the heavy barreled .222 Rem 700 ADL.

My SR primer going off.
Too bad we didn't give the Ukrainians several hundred of these to make it a fairer fight (should it happen). After all, by far the largest tank battles ever took place in that part of the world. Smooth barrel 120mm cannon.

Hm? Would that be a paper patch round?
