Since the Russians dried up wondered about cheap plinking primers.

Ginex has been around a long time, they make the primers half the planet uses in the French cheddite type hulls.
they say they approximate Winchesters for brisance level but they don't.
the shotshell primers also use a steel cup instead of brass.

if the metallic primers are brass I'd have no problem buying at least a sleeve of them and just bumping my load a tenth or two if necessary.

I keep a few thousand of their shotshell primers around and use them pretty frequently, never had one not fire, and they are consistent.

For another twenty bucks CCI can be had, so I'm good.

I did try the Tulammo 223 primers once and they are most excellent. At the time they were half the price of domestic name-brand and I got a couple 5K cases. Almost used them all up but they're almost as expensive as domestics now to replace and they stink terribly.

I wish Wolf would start bringing in their primers again. I went through 25K of the LP. Never had a bad one.

Thanks for the info. I hadn't heard of them. With hazrobery/shpg it ain't a smoking deal. If caught on clearance w/no robbery it could be a good substitute for plinkers.

Still have some tula/wolf/s&b but am on the lookout since they aren't replaced cheap now

I got 15000 of them at Graf's last year (large & small pistol & rifle) and have used (maybe) 3-400 of them. The counter but told me they had mixed reviews on them, some loved them,others said they wouldn't go bang. I've not had any issues so far and they seem as good as any others I've used. The price was 1/2 anything else. I'm happy with them.
