Zincpoint Primers?

Just get gouged on gun broker.
At least you will get some primers.

Well, 3 months have passed since Zincpoint charged my credit card for the primers. I had to request a chargeback from my credit card company before the 90-day deadline. I got my money back and of course no primers from Zincpoint. They kept using excuses like "It's UPS's fault." Looking at Zincpoint's reviews on AmmoSeek, this is their go-to excuse. Since my first post a couple of weeks ago, others who were unfortunate enough to receive their primers have also left reviews on AmmoSeek stating about 30-40% of the primers don't work. I guess I'm glad I never received them.

Misread post “get gouged” as “got gouged.” I’ve seen dubious primer sales on Gunbroker too, and they only guarantee against fraud up to $500.

How can primers have 30% to 40% failure rate?

They're obviously crap

I wonder if that 30% failure rate carried over to the second strike to see if it was a primer failure or if it was an operator failure to fully seat the primer.

Made of mud, clay, and hope&dreams

I wouldn’t use them unless that’s all I could get.

I would be reduced to reworking old primers first before taking chances on some of these vendors. I always am warry of anything that looks to be too good to be true. Just sayi'n.

1 out of 3 fail to fire?

Those caps make the Remington .22 bucket o’ duds look downright reliable!

Stay safe.

I like the .22 bucket of love!

They must put a lot of effort into getting a 30% failure rate.
Even the cheap, simple, corrosive home made primers don’t have that high of a failure rate.

Does anyone know where I can buy primers from one of those 3 primer factories that was opening up this summer?

I don’t know, I don’t run the company, Tom just mentioned it on Gun Talks last week. 3 New Primer Factories being built by current large ammo manufacturing companies!

If they aren't telling then likely "green" lead free primers, they don't sell if they are up front about it, and it's best to avoid them altogether.

Sh***y properties include (but not limited to) erratic ignition, sensitivity to moisture/humidity which ruins them, very short shelf life and abrasive residue left inside the barrel. Useless for the average reloader if you want repeatability of any sort, and especially no grit in your barrel. Funny how they leave that part out.

Did Tom mention late summer of which year? And how did he get exclusive rights to spread the rumor? Besides you I mean.

Tom knows a few people in the gun industry and he’s very sure that the primer factories are going online at the end of summer
