    Unis Ginex primers

    Ever heard of them? Are they good or bad?

    Correction: Ginex

    If you mean "GINEX" from Bosnia in the white sleeve...yes, I buy mine at a shop local to me and have worked great. Only down side...to me is that the shop charges more for them than CCI or FEDERAL. I have also used and prefer the Argentinian primers Servicios & Aventuras. They too have worked great and are a bit cheaper.

    Shooting buddy has been running them in his striker fired pistols with no issues.

    I’ve been using the large rifle primers, they’ve been fine.

    I've heard good things about them, but haven't used them. I'm still working on using up my Wolf Primers I paid $12/1000 for....

    I have two firearms that won’t fire them reliably. They are 100 percent reliable in my striker fired pistols and pcc. The cartridges that didn’t fire on the first strike will fire on a second or third hit. Or when fired in a striker fired handgun. I’ve got around 4000 more to use. They aren’t terrible knowing their limitations. I haven’t noticed them being larger or tighter than domestic primers, but I’m only loading them on a progressive press, and don’t have feel feedback like when using a hand primer tool.

    I have some LR that I bought on sale when they were $22 K. I was using a hand primer, and thought they were hard to seat, so I talked myself and buddy out of buying any more. Now I am seating in the press, and having good luck with them, should have bought more.

    Bought a couple 100 at a gunshow to try. Did good. Bought 5000 from American Reloading for a little over $300 with no shipping and hazmat. Loaded a few hundred to test and they all went bang. Went back to finish up my Argentinian primers I was already into. They've had 1 in 1000 that FTF. I bought more of them too. You got to be FIRM with the seating on the bench prime, hand prime and the progressive.

    I bought a few thousand because I had nothing left. The LR have been going into all my high power stuff , be it hunting or boolit ammunition. Seem to be good stuff. I don't own anything accurate enough to see a group change because of primer switch off
