Haven't tried any, but have seen them on reloading sites. Don't remember which?

From some reviews the cups might be hard like military primers and might not ignite in some firearms? Wouldn't be the 1st primer foreign or American to do that.

That's a "new" brand to me. I have mixed feelings about the seeming "flood" of new primer brands. On the positive side, I'm relieved to have alternate sources of this critical component. I mean, really, really relieved. On the down side, I have two worries: 1) the quality, reliability and consistency of these new upstarts, and 2) Dang! If I try them out, I'll have to re-shoot my pressure ladder tests again!

What happened to the good old days going to the LGS or opening up the mail order catalog and having your pick of primer variations from CCI, Remington, W-W. Also, any powder or bullets you might want.

I'd heard of the White River Energetics and have read some positive reports on them.

Never heard of them. If the price is right, buy 1k and test them out for all of us that reload.
