Servicios Aventuras Small Pistol Primers

[delta-419]

I recently bought a 1000 small pistol primers, product name as above. Price was $90. They are made in Argentina. This is my first experience with them and my range day, today, was not a good one. I had 5 FTFs in a row with sound hammer strikes on each primer, these from a Walther PP Super 9mm. Seeing that it is a double action auto, there were multiple strikes on each FTF cartridge. Ammo was reloaded this past week. Has anyone had experience with this brand. I have included a couple of photos of the FTF cartridges so that you may also see the striker hits. Your comments appreciated.

Did they fire with a second strike? I might try loading some 9mms to test in a variety of pistols.

Multiple Stricker Hits

None of them fired after being hit multiple times. I have the bolt from the Walther soaking in ATF/acetone solution to rule out dry oil and crud. It looks clean, but I hope I don't have to disassemble it.

I've fired over 1000 in a CZ75 and HK P7. All fired the first time I pulled the trigger.

I did notice that the firing pin indentations were not as deep as when I use Winchester or Remington primers.

FWIW local cowboy & action pistol guys have been using Ginex & Fiocchi with little to no problems . Ubers has been having both CCI & Fed primers in stock . My PPC revolver which I generally use Feds will pop the Fiocchi's , have not personally tried the Ginex . However I know some serious Cowboy shooters with tuned / lightly sprung guns using the Ginex . I was told the Servicos were milspec with hard cups & that they were corrosive .
