Has anybody used GINEX PRIMERS ?
HOW DO THEY PERFORM.

I have shot about 200 rounds of 6.5 creed with them and so far everything has gone bang. The groups opened up a bit from the CCI benchrest primers ( from 3/8 moa to 1/2) So far no complaints. But 200 rounds is a very small sample size.
 
You didn't specify what size primers. I can't comment on their rifle calre primers, except to note that they are a major NATO supplier which means they pass formal performances standards and testing.
I have used their small pistol primers in my Glock. Chronograph testing showed that the average velocity was within 2 fps of the same loads using CCI primers. Likewise the StDev was, for all intents and purposes, the same as for CCI. My Glock is a bit harsh on primers which is why I normaly use CCI. I find Winchester , Federal etc are a bit too soft. The Ginex primers showed the same primer indentation as for CCI. All in all I'm very happy with them. However, if I was using a target revolver with a light striking hammer then I think Ginex may be a bit too hard for reliable ignition ie perfect for a semi-auto or a service revolver, not so for a target tuned revolver.
 
Like @AZDAVE I've used the LR primers out of a 6.5 CM hunting rifle. They are fine.

However, I don't use them in my 6.5 CM LR rifle. I stick with Fed 210Ms.

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
