In today's internet world, I would figure the company would care about damage to their brand from loyal customers in the dark for so long. Not how I would run a business, but hey, they didn't call me and ask my opinion. I sent them an email 4 months ago, and they responded with 'Watch the website to tell you when stock is back'. Last email has gone unanswered.
Either way, i don't care anymore, - wastes time. I've moved on to a different ammo provider. The market has options, fortunately my gun is not that picky. [Out]
Show of hands: who would buy RUAG knowing they were screwing PRIME? Would you buy it if it was $1.83/rnd vs $1.33/rnd and a 200 rnd case was $366 instead of $266? I too realize this is marketing, but I don't know that I would pay the money.
I hear my father in my head now: "Penny wise and pound foolish"

I know with brass I have no problem paying a dollar for Lapua but for some reason I seem to be physically appalled that Norma is twice as much.

I’m looking for alternative sources as well. I was all in with 6mm CM Federal 105 Berger’s. All of a sudden supply has dried up. Can’t find it anywhere. Tried Copper Creek but having issues with blown primers. Hornady 108s are pretty good and are cheap and everywhere. Does anyone know what’s up with Federal or is the demand that high
I just tried some Federal GMM 130 grain. I believe the bullet is made by Berger and is an OTM type similar to the PRIME. I didn't have access to a chrono but it was DAMN close to the same as PRIME from an elevation perspective. MV on the box was very similar to PRIME so it doesn't surprise me. I only tried to 500 yards but it worked pretty nice. Was also $2.50/box cheaper than PRIME.
Will chrono next chance I get to see what ES/SD looks like

In agreement with this....NRA (Life Member, for what it’s worth) lost a ton of my respect when they locked out USCCA from their Conventions quite simply because they came out with their own self defense insurance. It showed me exactly where they put their main interest in certain ways. It’s not the total definer but it was low IMHO. I watched the video that was recently on PRIME site describing what’s going on in simple terms, but, it’s definitely not simple. Hate hearing that’s going on to a good intent.How does RUAG think they can play in this market? The PRIME ammo is a "get what you pay for product". Norma brass might be very good but it's overpriced for the market. I'm not implying that they are going to ask for it, but if they think they are going to get "Applied Ballistics Ammo" money for their product because of PRIME's excellent marketing they are delusional.
