Ginex Primers

Are the Ginex Brass colored primers any good?

 

[The German]

Not shooting competition or long distance precision, but have loaded about 2000 in 9 mm and .223 and for my range shooting, they worked well. Did not compare velocities, simply interchanged them with the CCIs I used before I ran out. Out of the 2000, all of them that I used went bang.

Has anyone tried Unis Ginex Primers?

I have to say I have been buying from americanreloading.com for years and they have been 100% reliable if you want Ginex primers. I have no affiliation with the company.

Check out post #58. I think Jackie answers this question.

I use the LR Ginex and get excellent accuracy with them. Better than CCI in several cartridges. Thy do fit extremely tight however.

Have the large rifle primers been available anywhere lately?

I haven't seen any LR primers in a long while. Just 2 flavors of SR, 5.56 and Sporting rifle, and pistol primers have been available.

I saw some in the last few weeks. Powder valley was one place but the price had gone way up since i bought mine.

Took a quick trip to Bosnia & Herzogovina to buy 1000 Ginex 4,5/3-P3-SR primers recently. They go bang and seem to be a bit spicier than WSR's that I normally use for the 5.56 loads running H335 under 55gr FMJ's. No chrono data to prove the hunch, but I like them and they work. The ammo will be used in the next competition.

Been using them for years...first in the 50BMG at 22 cents per primer a few yrs ago...then trickle down to 9mm. Price has escalated but they always went bang.

I can only speak for the small pistol version, but no issues at all and I’ve probably loaded and shot around 10k of them over the past year.

Have loaded thousands of Ginex spp with no issues at all.

I shot them in my 30BR yesterday at our Tomball Gun Glub VFS Match. I shot a 250, 21x. As you can see by my #4 target, when I hit the condition, the rifle did it’s part.

This was with 35.0 grns of H4198 behind my own 112 grn bullet.

As a note, when I tested them in my 6PPC a few weeks back, accuracy was great, but with the elevated pressure loads I shoot in my 6PPC, I did pierce 2 primers.

I will use them in my 30BR.

Related, anyone have experience with the Argentina small pistol primers?Reviews lend more to hammer fired pistol https://www.powdervalleyinc.com/product/servicios-aventuras-small-pistol-primers/and not striker fired types. I would need them to work in a G19.
