History: (via wiki)
RBA or RIVERBRAND (1945? - early 1980s) - Riverbrand Ammunition Company, Hendon, South Australia, Australia. Syd Churches, owner of the Taipan Bullet Company, bought out the defunct Small Arms Ammunition Factories No. 3 & 4 at Hendon after the war. Initial production just remanufactured old military-surplus brass cases with new RWS-made non-corrosive Berdan primers and mated them with Taipan-manufactured bullets to make cheap .303 Imperial and 7.62mm NATO ammo. Early new production (marked "RBA") used Berdan primed brass cases. Full production (marked "RIVERBRAND") used newly manufactured Boxer-primed cases in a variety of service pistol and "wildcat" sporting rifle cartridges, as well as new brass for handloaders. They also made ammo for Sportco in Adelaide under the SPORTCO headstamp. Riverbrand was always a small-scale endeavor, as there was too much competition from Super Cartridge Company (their only domestic manufacturing rival) and foreign ammunition manufacturers. After Churches' death in the late 1970s, RIVERBRAND's bullet-making machinery was sold and moved to Gympie, Wide Bay–Burnett, Queensland, where it was set up as TAIPAN Bullets. Owner Malcolm Bone now manufactures bullets in small lots for handloaders, since the company's major toolmaker and die-setter died a few years ago.
