Fiocchi, Ginex, Murow Small Rifle Primers, Experience 223 Remington

[vaguru]

Since there seems to be many of these brands of small rifle primers available currently, I'm interested in any user experience.

Have you used any or all of these in 223 Remington? Any issues with seating, fail to fire, piercing? What is cup thickness, primer mix standard or magnum, and any other info that's available.

I'm about out of my current stock and will need more soon, just have no experience with any of the above.

Thanks for any and all replies.

We published a report on Large Rifle Primer (LRP) 308 Winchester performance in TS just over two years ago and promised a follow-up using Lapua ‘Palma’ brass and Small Rifle (SRP) caps. So, here we eventually are having done most of the range testing more than a year ago but the write-up was...

Ginex has been going well in my rifle.
556 loads, tested them in slight overpressure rounds too and they did not show any signs but cratering a bit. I could not really catch on to them with my finger nail.
Max was 1.64g / 25.3gr.
