Ginex Test

[Old Navy]

I have only done limited testing so far but they are looking good.

ON,

What primer(s) are you comparing them to?

Thanks,

There are two types of primers I shoot in F-open competition. I normally used CCI BR 2s. When large primers became scarce I was able to get Ginex large rifle primers to keep me going. They were and still are a lot cheaper than the BR-2s. As far as performance, as long as I weight sort my primers I find little or no difference in the performance. The only difference I see is the Ginex primers fit a little tighter in the primer pocket.

They are much less expensive and for the most part very consistent. But, oh man, are they hard to seat!

I use the Sinclair hand held priming tool to seat them and really haven’t had any problems seating them
even in virgin brass.

Pete, you are referring to the Large primers aren’t you?

I had been using their SRP in my 260AI f/open gun with good consistency until I switched from RL23 to N555, I started to get hang fires with N555 and Ginex. Switched to 7-1/2 and no more hang fires.

Yes

I have been using the Ginex SRP on my Practice Cases that have gotten slightly over-sized on the primer pockets after thirty-five to forty reloads . I have seen virtually no difference on target between them and the Rem 7 1/2 BR primer I use normally . The Ginex do run the velocity at around fifteen to twenty FPS faster on average than the Rem , but I can't tell any difference on target .
Ginex : ...197 - 9X
Rem.......198 - 10X
Brass prep was identical for case batch
Load was the same for both strings .

The ones I have required a lot more pressure to seat them in the primer pocket and I’ve chosen to hold them for when the pockets get loose with my American made primers.

Same here. They are TIGHT!

 

[Kracken McGraw]

It sure is good news to know that they seem to be shooting good for you guys.

I'd love to try a hundred SRP. We've been running the small pistol for target shooting ammo, and they run pretty good.

They are TIGHT on a good primer pocket . As I stated , I don't use them until the pocket will no longer "secure" a standard SRP . And they will only give you from 4 - 6 extra reloads . But that's 4 - 6 more reloads than if you had thrown them out , and still no difference on target . I run 600 practice cases , and in seven years , I have "created a box of 134 "Ginex" cases ! That's Lapua SRP cases with Ginex primers . I keep them separated , and shoot them in batches of fifty . Five sighters , and twenty for Record . Gives me two practice strings at a time . Vertical scope adjustment is only one or two clicks down on a GE ! Hope this helps .
