Hi All-
As many of you know. Ginex primers from Bosnia are beginning to hit the U.S.. I just scored some for the first time. In this time of "Buy what you can get", I wanted to share an observation. I have loaded 9mm with 300 Ginex, and they are about 2-3 times harder to seat, using a Lee turret with a custom Inline long ergo handle. About every 10th one, I need to re-compress in order to make it flush. I even had to stand rather than sit, to get as much leverage as I could. I used mixed range brass for the loads.
As long as they all go bang this isn't a complete deal breaker, testing 400 this weekend. Between myself and a friend, I will test using 4 pistols and a PCC. I have read that the cups are too hard for some Glocks, but neither of us own one, so can't test that.
For this reason, I will pass on buying them again if there is something else available. If you do use these, check EVERY loaded round to ensure the primer is all the way in. I caught several which were not.
One thing I really like is the bright red color. If I find one in the shop, I know immediately what it is.
Just thought I'd throw this out there for anyone thinking of buying 5k like I did.
EDIT: This is now not my opinion of these primers, scroll down for my test results.
