[Bora72]

Hello have you tested this primers on the caliber on the object?


Thanks

I had good luck with Ginex SRP in my 260AI with RL23 powder, but when I switched to N555 I was getting hang fires. The ginex are also slightly larger diameter and harder to seat. But gave good ES/SD comparable to anything else.

Hi, thanks for your experience.
Do you remember the maximum pressure level achieved with these primers?
Dibasic powder seems harder to ignite.
I normally use Fiocchi SRM, and these also seem to fit tighter in the primer pocket than CCI450 and other american primers.

I use Ginex in many cartridges and no issues at all. They do fit tight though. Excellent ES. Won the UBR nationals, factory class with them

Good info, thanks, do you remember the pressure of the loads?

I used Ginix primers in a 7mm-08 for F-Open and my match load was single digit ES and SD.

I tested loads up to my safe max pressure a little over 60Kpsi and they didn't fail.

Thanks for the contribute, I suppose your match loads give more pressure...

I typically run the node under max which for me is 0.8 to 1 gn under pressure signs (ejector swipe, hard bolt lift, flattened primers).

 

[Bora72]

Hello, I think more than the standard 61kpsi ...

No but they were all within pressure limits. During my group testing with Ginex, fed, and cci, Ginex won, beating cci BR primers by .020 and fed match by .010 as I recall. I also use them in ALL my hunting rifles and have never had a FTF. They are tighter than dicks hatband and I use a ram prime to set them. This pays off as pockets enlarge but my pockets are still tight as I dont push my brass hard

 

[Bora72]

Does it really take that much force to prime them?
I use a Lee primer, I think it's the XR version, and I have to say that even the Fiocchi are stiff, but I manage to get them down into the pocket.
Do I need to use a press for these Ginex ones?

I bought a bunch of RWS SR primers 10 plus years ago. Still have about 5K of them. They have performed very well for me in BR up through X47 size cases.

I use Ginex primers in 223, 6.8, and 308, and they’re all I use now. My groups with the Ginex are better than CCI or Federal. They are also very affordable.

Thanks for your reply about rws, I also have a 6,5x47 Lapua

Ginex have on catalog more version of small primers, one of these have 0.268" (0,68mm) cup
