Expansion Industries/Ammunition in Texas has been working on it for about a year.

Some of the guys on another forum signed up for emails from Expansion Industries. They received this on October 10th, 2022.:

We are looking forward to starting production over the coming month and shipping on a limited basis.
You will likely see them being offered retail before the end of the first quarter 2023...
Thank you,

Are there other new primer makers coming on line?

Fiocchi is currently building a $41.5 million plant in Little Rock Arkansas that should be on line by 2025

ETA: These are to be lead free primers as they are attempting to attract a NATO contract. This will be the first dedicated lead free primer factory in the world.

AAC or PSA ( Palmetto State Armory) ?

Palmetto State Armory is a firearm manufacturer and retailer. I have bought several shotguns, multiple AR parts and receivers, ammo optics and tons of other stuff from them. They also manufacture more ARs than just about anyone else in the country.
