Has anyone tried Unis Ginex Primers?

[257ack]

Specifically small rifle primers in target loads. It seems that is all that is available right now. Thanks for any replies

 

[Surgeonwithagun]

The box I saw pictured said "for military/5.56" so I passed worried that they would be like CCI-41s and be hard to ignite. What are you planning to load with them?

thanks for the reply. I did not know that. Our BR rifles have a strong strike but I dont really like the hard primers. I still Have enough BR primers for my needs right now but if I ever start back at the matches, They will go fast.

Just before primers got scarce I bought 5000 Ginex NATO spec large rifle primers from Grafs. They are good primers. I normally use BR-2 s for F-class matches but the Ginex are almost as good, absolutely no ignition problems with them. I run an F class Panda. The only thing is they fit somewhat tighter in the primer pockets but I can't say that I've had trouble seating them. I would assume that the small rifle primers are just as good but I can't say for sure since I haven't used them.

They let me put over $52000 worth of primers to my cart, and free shipping and hazmat. Lol. I’m saying it’s a scam.

That's what I was expecting.

I saw someone post about them yesterday. So I tried and put over $21,000.00 worth in the cart and got all of the way to “payment” so I stopped. I wouldn’t use them to purchase anything.

I've made a few purchases from Capital Cartridge. The latest was the end of January of this year. Far as I can tell, that appears to be the same site I ordered from. Maybe give them a call.

 

[jelenko]

Hmm. They take credit cards. No mention of Zelle or Venmo.

To the OP,
I use the large rifle version with great results. I wish I had 50,000 more.
I hope this helps,

I use the LR and they shoot great. Low SD, better than CCI in every rifle except my 250AI. They do fit very tight and I have to use my ram prime to seat them easily. Caught a case of them on sale ($123) a while back

 

[mongo chicago]

I use them in my 6mm Rem. Good primers, hard to seat in virgin/new brass. I got 5000 in storage for later use.

They are listed on the corporate sign for the 9702 address. Warehouse Associates, Wallisviile Ind Park
WA ph 713 461 9696? They should know if a renter is legit. Capital Cartridge does say NO in person pickup.

 

[257ack]

I will probally order the 5000 SR for $550.00 I have seen on other sites where others have ordered brass and pulled bullets primers etc from them with no issues. Capital seems to be legit

 

[jelenko]

I would just like to emphasize that the Unis Ginex small rifle primers that I had were really, really tough to seat.

Also, I've seen CC1 450 and 400's available fairly often in the past month or so from several on line suppliers.

I have been using Ginex primers for a number of years with no complaints. I have used SR, LR, LR 7.62mm, LR magnum.
Ginex is a sophisticated primer manufacturer based in Bosnia. Unless Bill Clinton sent you there to bash the Serbs I doubt you could find it on a map to save your life. Helpfully, the Ginex home page has such a map. https://www.ginex.com.ba/index.htm
The products page has a drop down box that lists every primer they make. These guys even make a primer specially for the .38 Special.
I have never had a problem seating Ginex SR primers, and I've used a few. The LR varieties I have are a tad larger, it's right in the box 5,5mm. I find it useful for extending life of cases as primer pockets grow. Most cases won't give you a problem though. Forget it with my IMI 308Win match cases, which will only accept Winchester or S&B primers for the first two loads or so. But other cases? Not so much.
Especially in the LR primers, I find Ginex often gives me lower ES than other brands. Chacun a son gout.

Now: On size in the LR varieties: If you click on the drop down box on the Products page, and then click an individual primer, Ginex offers a detailed specification sheet. I've attached the one for SR.
One small thing I like about the Ginex primers I have is that each 1,000 count box has a signed inspection sheet actually signed in ink by a human. But then I'm old-fashioned.

I've done business with them on pistol brass and 124 gr 9mm bullets and had no problems. I called and talked to them before placing an order . The whole transaction was done over the phone.

I ordered a case of small pistol primers (Unis-Ginex) from 2nd Amendment Warehouse; Got to shipping about 2 weeks later, then, according to the tracking number, sat waiting for pickup for at least 2 weeks. The next I heard was delivery the next day coming from Capital Cartridge (which I had never heard of.) After a bit of research, 2A Warehouse and Capital Cartridge pretty much share the same address. All I can figure is 2A started the shipping, then moved it to Capital, which generated a new shipping label without communicating that.

Bottom line: These guys aren't fast, and contacting them is iffy (if not impossible), but they seem to be a valid shop.

On usage, I haven't gotten through my CCI stash yet, so can't comment on the Ginex primers themselves.
