Good news thanks for posting.
Found this interesting from the article: "the only dedicated lead-free primer plant in the world, the company said. "
Remember some controversy about the performance difference of green primers vs the standard primers made with lead styphnate.
Been a few years perhaps there has been some improvement.
Also last year there was a startup primer manufacturer touted in Texas to come online. Haven't heard anything further about it. Anybody know?

They are just breaking ground so it’ll be five years before those primers hit the market

At this point any positive news on components is good news! Tks for posting it.

I believe that the Remington plant is on I-40 east of Little Rock. Wherever it is, it's right up against the south side of the highway.

AJ will put a stop to that right quick. You know, the environment. And jobs.

Still a good thing, 5 years or not. I'm waiting on more information about the primer plant in Texarkana.
