[QUOTE="crashlanding, post: 3025126, member: 44614"] Did some testing with the ginex primer’s today, it was a beautiful day to shoot, storm we had for the last two days passed. First picture are numbers from last week using RL26 for the first time ahead of a federal 215 primer, velocity at 65.7 grains was 2900 fps, this was merely a velocity work up, there were no pressure signs and room to keep going. Rifle is a Seekins element 7mm prc with a 22” barrel[ATTACH type="full"]540590[/ATTACH]Second picture are my notes today using ginex primers, first 5 shots using no crimp and numbers are sporadic, second 5 shots are with an eighth turn on my crimping die, the numbers seemed to flatten out[ATTACH type="full"]540591[/ATTACH]More testing is needed, accuracy ran 1 moa which is disappointing as I’ve done much better but at a loss of 100 fps, typically 1/2 moa so I will continue to work at it. As far as the ginex primers go, the #1 complaint is hard seating which are tight but doable. I’ve never been one to hand prime, always used the ram from my press so for me was a non issue, in fact, no more difficult to seat than the 215’s, primer pockets are tight on the adg brass that I have.
