HK says not suitable in hand primers, on the web it says suitable for all applications.
I guess a phone call will clear that up, just curious as to why the primers would not be ok in hand primers.

Re: HK Primers
The samples I have come from two different countries in the eastern block.
The pistol ones come from Bosnia, one of the rifle sizes (small or large, I cannot remember which) came from a different country close by.

Arming the Country, one gun at a time.

Re: HK Primers
One of the rifle sizes I had came from one of the Baltic states.
All my rifle cases I prime with a hand primer and had no trouble with these. The pistol ones are usually done on the press, again no trouble.
They also functioned as well as expected with no problems.

Re: HK Primers
It sounds like they are worth a go.
I will give them a call. Gearing up for the end of lock down :)

Re: HK Primers
I wonder if they are repackaged "GINEX" primers.
I bought loads of these from the "Dutch" feller who used to come to Bisley.
Still have several thousand Large Pistol loose in 2.5k boxes!
They work well and I use them in hand primers and on the press.

Re: HK Primers
Just primed 10 off 6.5 Creedmoor Starline brass with these.
Tight fit, very tight fit.
Almost impossible to seat with hand primer, still hard even using the press.
Will take some measurements tomorrow, to try and see if it’s the primers or the brass.
