Anyone have any experience with these? I came across 1k srp and spp and I grabbed them for a rainy day.

They are very good. A little softer cup. I have a 357 that does light primer strikes with cci, but works perfectly with these.

I bought 2 bricks of spp. I loaded a couple 100 just to test them. They work fine. As was said, they may be slightly oversized. They go in a little tougher that CCIs.

what did you pay for them?

80 per 1k, but I was reworking loads with mag primers because I’m out of spp.

They have given me no problems.

I have used quite a few spp and they work just fine. No real difference between them and my CCI I prefer. Other than in some brass they seat with a little more force than the CCI.
I found this interesting as I've only seen them packaged in bricks of 5k...inside were 50 packets of 100
I've read this also, but haven't experienced this in the ~1k that I've loaded.
I've surmised that there are two varieties if Genix SPP...one is brass and the other is nickel plated. Most complaints I've read about them being a tight fit have been the brass colored ones.
I have felt any additional tightness with the nickel plated ones I've loaded. I'd be interested in hearing from the folks who have experienced the tightness as to the color of the primers they are using
I have a friend who is shooting 9mm in a S&W 929 and has had good luck with them. I've only used the Genix in 9mm (replacing CCI) for my M&P9 and SIG 320 so far and have been loading my .38SPL rounds with Federal SPP...I may have to try the Genix in some revolver cases next time

I bought a 5k brick of brass colored Ginex and have used them in revolver loads for .357 loaded to medium level in .357 Starline brass. They have worked as well as any other primer i have ever used!
They might have taken a little more force to seat them using my Dillon 550 but it wasn’t like it was a struggle.
The only problem with them was they weren’t cheep, like everything else these days.

I bought a thousand to try at the gun show yesterday. Like you say they weren't cheap at $80 but the vendor seemed to have a lot of them. There wasn't any limit on purchase quantity that I saw posted.

The primers I bought had been pulled from a larger batch and taped in small bricks of 500. This was a ammo manufacturer, so I am sure they came in much larger bulk.
That's actually a pretty reasonable price as the best price I've seen online has been $85/k ($425/5k)...that included shipping and HasMat. I seen them being offered as high as $525/5k...and then they wanted shipping ($30) and HazMat ($30)
When I first got mine, they limited a purchase to 50k
A guy on another forum used a micrometer to compare them to CCI primers and they are a bit wider. He took pics but I don't know how to read a mic. Also on my Loadmaster I learned today that no matter what I try (very mechanically inclined) they will not feed consistently. I've had no problems with CCI or Winchester primers. I'm going to have to prime on my Classic Turret but I am glad I have plenty of primers

For me they seat fine in my Lee Classic Turret press. .45ACP 38SP. 9MM 45LC 357 Mag
They do work fine on the Lee Classic Turret but the Loadmaster has a totally different priming system. Even with CCI or Winchester you can get an occasional primer that doesn't feed but for some reason these Ginex have trouble moving down the trough even though it's spotless.

If it’s this one (https://www.rugerforum.net/threads/differences-in-primer-fit-ginex-vs-federal.402422/), the Ginex looks to be .0002-.0003” larger than the Federal.
Are you referring to primer depth or width?
Following your posted link, I'm seeing both the Genix and Federal measuring out at .173"
I'll also note that the Genix primers that he is having issues with are the brass colored ones and not the nickled ones
