1844:- South Coventry, Connecticut (1872-1891; 1891-1898). Joseph Merwin and brothers Milan and Henry Hulbert (owners of the Merwin & Hurlbert firearms factory) took over the Henry W. Mason Company and renamed it to the Phoenix Metallic Cartridge Company. It was successful until the death of Joseph Merwin in 1879; the Hulbert brothers had to settle with Merwin's estate and did not buy out his heirs completely until 1891. It was then bought out by Marcellus Hartley, president of the Union Metallic Cartridge Company, and Thomas Bennett and Arthur Hooper, president and vice president (respectively) of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company and renamed the American Metallic Cartridge Company (1891-1898). The two joint owners used the facility to manufacture shotgun shells using its unique copyrighted "X.L." design utilizing a paper sabot. After the patent expired in 1896, the South Coventry factory was closed in 1898.

The 'Big Four' formed a group that cut out any arms companies they saw as a potential threat (like Savage and Western). They refused to make ammunition for them or even sell them the components. It fell apart in 1907 due to internal squabbling. The side-effect is that their methods forced their spurned customers to become rivals who made their own components and assembled their own cartridges. Union Metallic Cartridge got bought out by Remington Arms in 1912, US Cartridge Company was bought out by National Lead Company (who owned Winchester) in 1918, followed by Winchester being bought out by Olin Industries (who owned Western Cartridge) in 1931.

Projectiles supplied to RBA featured a knurled cannellure. No knurled cannelure, not a genuine Taipan Projectile. RBA also used other Projectiles including ICIANZ and CIL, yet claimed the use through advertising as Taipan Projectiles due to that companies high reputation at that time (1950's through to 1970). This continual advertising of RBA ammunition with Taipan Projectiles was a bone of contention with Sid Churches and eventually all supplies of Taipans to RBA ceased in about 1963. A Taipan Projectiles History website has been launched in April 2020.
