5pins Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Anyone try them? Google search shows very little other then they may be the same that xtreme is selling under their brand name. I just got some SPM from Graf’s so hopefully they work well. http://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/product/productId/73838 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol primers worked just fine but the small rifle primers are a big pain in the ass to seat. They all fired just fine tho but I wouldn't pay 30 a brick for them, I was getting them for 20. For 30 you can get s&b, cci, or winchesters Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5pins Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 I loaded up 100 9mm loads using the primers and had 5 light primer strikes out of the first mag in my Glock 19. I’m going to try them in a hammer fired gun when I get a chance. I’m also going to see if I can seat them a little deeper and see if that helps.

Ive only used them in striker fired 9mm and no issues. Must've gotten lucky Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5pins Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 I just tried 50 rounds out of my Sig 226 with the same results, several misfires. Some taking up to three strikes to fire. At this point I guess I'm just stuck with 4800 primers I cant use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtturn Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 If they're firing on a second or third strike, you are not seating them deeply enough. That's not the fault of the primer.Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going to load another batch making sure I’m seating them properly and see what happens. Maybe I will try priming some separately with my Lee hand primer. I hope it’s a simple issue like that.

5pins Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 I got out my old Lee ram prime and primed 100 cases and then loaded them on the Hornady AP. I checked each one after priming to make sure they all were seated correctly. Hopefully they will fire and then I will need find some way to make sure they seat properly on the Hornady.

5pins Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 I shot the loads off this morning and had 4 misfires and only two of then fired on the second strike. At this point I think its safe to say that its not the seating depth that’s the problem. Looks like I get some Eastern European hard primers. I don’t know what I’m going to do with them. Maybe use them I a rifle load? Even then I don’t load that much for my rifles and it would take me a long time to use them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDA Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Which main spring are you using in your P226? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5pins Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Today I used my Glock 19 with 100% stock factory stock parts. I can’t really blame anything but the primers at this point. The 19 and P226 have been 100% reliably with any other primer I have used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcoz Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Based on the number of people suffering misfires/light primer strikes, it appears that they may be slightly oversized and therefore difficult to get properly seated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcoz Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I had never heard of them until reading about some people on another forum complaining of light primer strikes using them. I can't remember which forum as it was a month or so ago. Nothing major, just a few of them but it was always the same complaint of light strikes then they would fire on the second or third attempt indicating they may not have been fully seated.

5pins Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 I remember buying some MFS 9mm years ago and had the same issues. I suspect they use the same primers. I don’t think is a seating depth issue, I just think they are hard primers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM83 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Ginex are my favorite small pistol primers. They are consistent and I have never had one fail to ignite when it was seated to proper depth. I have shot at least 10,000 of them to date. They have run in an SP-01 Shadow, VP9, CK Arms open gun, STI Hex Tac, Grand Power X-Cal, K100, and my PCC all without issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alotur Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I second that! Price can't be beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvmojo Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Just came across this - I've been using Ginex primers for a year - have loaded/fired over 3,000 of them and haven't noticed any problems. On rare occasion I'll have a light strike, but the frequency isn't any greater than when I load CCI or Federal. Can't beat the price. Graf & Sons has them on sale now (small pistol) for $109.99 . That's $22/1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5pins Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 I ended up getting an RCBS automatic bench priming tool hoping it would fix the problem. I loaded up about 150 in once fired CCI nickel plated brass assuring all primers were seated properly. Yeah, it didn't work. Still getting about a 5% failure rate. So far I have tried four different priming methods and none of them have worked. I'm done wasting my time with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
