Funny you asked that while at the same time you got worked up over the headstamp and contested through your credit card

They advertised CCI 450 and pictured the blue (retail) boxed CCI 450 on their website. They made no mention of OEM 450s or the white box being marked not for resale. I didn’t really need more 450s at this time but thought I’d stock up a bit while I can and figured I could always sell those primers in the future if I need to. However since I have those white boxes labeled as such, it would be more difficult for me to sell as some likely will wary away from something they’re unfamiliar with.

Also, portion of reason why the prices are so inflated is because of limited supply in the retail market. There is a reason why CCI marked those boxes not for resale because they are supplying a good portion to the ammo factories and at discounted costs. If they keep supplying the factories and the factory keep re-supplies to the retail market, it just hurt us as we continue to pay ridiculously inflated prices while the factories are profiting from it.

Different packaging on a box of primers isn't in the same plane as reworked .223 into 300 BM.

And I specifically sought 300BM headstamps...a comparative rarity at least at the time. It's what drew me to purchase their product vs. other vendors.

Commercial packaged primers, if identical, is like "law enforcement only" ammo. Only you know what was on the package.

Excerpt:

Although a manufacturer may legend or advertise a load as “law enforcement,” “duty,” “made exclusively for law enforcement,” or “for law enforcement only,” it is fairly well-known such restrictions are merely manufacturer “policy” and notice of an intended supply chain limitation.

Yeah, until someone calls the manufacturer and rats out the retailer. Like primers weren't hard enough to get, already.
