But, I'm not holding my breath. There is going to be if you can wait 2 years. Fiocchi is breaking ground in Arkansas right now to build a new $40 million plant just to make primers. I know of 3 different “new” primer factories that have submitted sample primers for explosive classification testing. All in the last 2 years. Only one of them has gotten to the point of actually producing. PS… No, I’m not going to say who. That’s not how an NDA works.

But, I'm not holding my breath. Never happen. No one will invest the $$millions needed to build a new primer mfg'g facility to drive prices down. Doesn't make good sense (cents?). Fiocchi is building a new primer plant in Arkansas and am sure they will sell at the prevailing price once on-stream.
