UNIS "GINEX" d.d. Goražde Primers...Any experience ?

[dolek]

I was wondering if any of folks have experience with these primers ? I just received some UNIS "GINEX" d.d. Goražde Large Rifle Magnum # 5,5/3-N primers and I can't find any info other than their website . Made in Boznia and Herzegonvina . Hoping someone here has experience with them . Any info would be greatly appreciated. Mostly wondering about using them for cold weather shooting.

I dont know anything about them---reminds me of a Ray Wylie Hubbard song. LOL

I have never used them, but, guys at the trap club love their shotgun primers.

They definitely work, but are slightly larger than American primers. Will not seat in virgin brass. Used brass much better.

Thanks folks . If the shotgun guys like them I will take that as a good sign . They will be going in once fired brass, I am interested in the fit now that I read the seating issue .

I tried a 1000 of their small rifle primers. Absolutely, positively wider than other primers.
Each primer went in only with a LOT of force. Some of the primers were deformed.
But, they all went bang.

I have a couple thousand of their LR primers . Got them specifically for my M-N cases when they start to loosen up in the pockets . Extends the case-life on S&B cases by 8 to 10 more reloads . Mileage may vary .

I loaded some up today . Brass was at different stages in life,4 manufacturers . Primers all seated fine ,the brass with the tightest pockets took a little extra effort . The loosest pockets took very little to seat Rem 9 1/2s,yet the Ginex felt just right . As D-4297 stated they do a fine job of filling loose pockets . I did a quick test right before dark and all is well . Thanks again for the info .
