Has anyone tried Unis Ginex Primers?

[Rocknroll81]

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.

Capital is not a scam. Not only have I bought brass from them a few years ago, I just bought 5,000 small pistol Genix Primers a few weeks ago.

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

I have used Genex large rifle primers and they are hard to seat. If you are seating with a hand held, Lee, it will be next to impossible.
I have had good luck seating with a bench mounted RCBS.

In the 6PPC world, one of our problems with the loads we shoot loose primer pockets after a couple of firings.

The vast majority use 205’s.

If these are larger, perhaps they might work better, if they work with the tune.

 

[Shooter13]

That's what I was expecting.

Well I order 5000 SRP with a virtual cc # they have 2 days to process the order but I too have ordered from them before, been awhile but they were legit. Will update later.

I've experienced the hard seating with a couple lots of Federal 205M's last year. CCI BR4 would seat normally but not the 205M's. A different lot of 205 M's seated as I would expect force wise.

I had to use my ram prime die to seat them

That's in interesting way to extend the life of some brass whose pockets have loosened up a bit.

Ginex is a good primer producer, both small and large, and they are hard to seat, but give small sd numbers on my loads. They are the ones I can source right now (maybe because they are the closest factory to me lol, like 120 miles). PPU uses their primers in production.

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 made a small purchase a few months ago got item all as stated on add, got info from Gavin on ultimate reloader when he explained difference from 223/556 cartridges. also most site which are bad only take vemo zelle Apple Pay and more importantly they are never out of stock of anything especially rare stuff and I can state that they’re out of the new brass when I checked today, now the real deal is I’ve seen where bad sites will alter a name slightly I’ve seen this with a few sites and I CANT say for sure we’re talking about the same site that I used, the one I used, packages came from Texas I was looking for new 223 brass they had once fired ready to rock 223 with ginex primers installed I would have bought them except for it had the red crimp on the brass and i buy 223 so I don’t have to Swage the crimp but since this specific cases I was looking at were mil surplus cleaned prepped and primed at an ok price not great price I passed the red crimp was my deal breaker. How ever I did purchase once fired full prep w ginex primer 500 9mm brass which was excellent I’ve fired and reloaded these case already once and brass was strong almost no Glock bulge the little I got was full sized out easy peazy. Which I can’t say off all the brass Brands I’ve bought in the past. Good luck guys hope this helps

Capital Cartridge: I bought from them (sort of.)

I was running short on small pistol primers (used for 32 SWL in a Pardini and 38Spl in a S&W Model 52); saw an ad from 2nd Amendment Warehouse for a case of Ginex primers, and ordered since they took credit cards. Got the order confirmation e-mail, and then didn't hear anything for close to a month. Tried e-mailing and calling to make sure the order was in-process, but never did make contact. Then I got a shipping notice from Capital Cartridge, which, after a bit of digging, turns out to be the next suite (as I recall) at the same address. Primers arrived shortly thereafter (left on my porch; no idea who signed for them, as the FedEx guy never rang the doorbell.)

My take is that they are legit, if not exactly customer service oriented.

Edit to add: I just got an email that Bruno's has Ginex SRP in 5K lots, but you won't like the price: $625. Timestamp: May 17, 2022, 10:50am (ish)

 

[EdRod]

Where are you finding Unis Ginex primers in stock?

Bruno shooting supplies in Arizona. They are great people. Good luck!!

 

[divingin]

I loaded up some of the Ginex SPP in 32SWL and 38Spl. Having read of the seating problems, I paid a little more attention to seating force than I normally do. I had a couple that felt that they were a little hard to seat, but that may have been because I was overthinking trying to feel any difference. They shot fine.

Personally, I wouldn't hesitate to use their SRP's, except for cost (they seem to be running a bit more than CCI's, assuming you can find either.)

 

[KMart]

I just ordered some SRP from Capital Cartridge. They are having a weekly special right now and the price was $450 including shipping. They did charge me state tax since I live about 5 miles from them.
I did a little scouting yesterday and went to their listed location. Their name is on the location (warehouse) and on the door. There was a couple of people packaging brass for shipment. Got to go inside and talk to someone and she did say that the primers was at that location.
She did indicate that ALL their business was done over the internet and I could not buy or place an order there.

 

[Ray123]

Ginex primers I've used were mostly 50 BMG 1200 of them...they worked fine. Just got 5000 in SR &5000 in SP...so far the first few hundred in SP worked just fine...got some ISO Servicos Aventras Argentina SP that have hard cup nato primers, in the striker fired Glock 42 about 2 in a hundred are too hard to fire on the first trigger pull, and requires a second try to go bang. The Russian SP have been working well too,.. so far. Their are Lots of foreign primers are available if ya look, ...at about 10 cents ea. shipped...I've tried 4 of them and the Argentina SP primers are the only ones I would not recommend for serious competition or defense in a striker fired gun...unless they prove 100% on the first firing.

Has anyone found the large rifle Ginex primers anywhere?

[Shooter13]

Well, my order was returned to sender, seems like that had a mess up of placing the haz-mat stickers, they did notify me to give them 1-3 days but the order would ship. I'll let you know how it goes but like I said they are legit and I've purchased from them before.

 

[Shooter13]

Got my primers today. If they don't turn out to be "match" grade primers I can always use them to fireform, anymore 5000 isn't that many.

Thanks for the update. I ordered some and they shipped on May 25th. They seem to have gone into a black hole at UPS. The sad part is that the primers only need to be transported lass than 10 miles from their location to me.

 

[Thor357]

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

I ordered some about a week ago and they came in yesterday. I, too, had never heard of them but they were the only ones I could find through Ammoseek. Haven't shot them yet. I did find that they seat pretty hard in my 5.56/.223 brass that have only been fired 2-3 times. I measured them and according to SAAMI specs the small rifle primers are 0.0015 larger in diameter than the max dimension shown thus making them rather difficult to get fully seated. I post an update after I try these.

 

[HandsOff]

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.

I know I'm late to the party, but I had the same issue. I now use the Breech Lock priming system for the Lee APP and they seat easily. I tried various presses and hand primers to no luck. If you have a stockpile of the UG primers, then I highly suggest priming on the APP.

I switched from CCI #41 to these, and so far they're good primers (I've used over 5K), but they are a bit fragile. Go slow and gentle when decapping live ones or the anvils may fall out.
