cci #34 primers

[Homer]

I have a few cci #34 7.62 primers that were on sale somewhere some time.....

I have used them in several LR applications and they perform just like any other large rifle primer....what exactly is the difference??

.....just harder?

Seriously, never used them. What about the #35’s, know anyone who uses them in a 50?

I can’t imagine a modern mil spec primer that wasn’t on par with what us civilians get. Let us know how they work. If we don’t here back from you we’ll know not to use them.

....yes, I have #35's too, they sure are easier to pick up after fumbling a tray.....

CCI #34's (white box primer) are a mil-spec primer. They have a more consistent flame (think match primer) and a harder cup.
If I recall the anvil is slightly further from the priming compound (just going off my old unreliable memory on that last one).

You can find and read the specs and differences online. CCI has them posted somewhere.

I use the #35's when loading for the BMG. They are the only primers I've tried in it and I'm not aware of any other options for a .50 bmg primer

are those 50 bmg primers? I've never seen them but I would assume by the maple leaf that they are a Canadian product.

 

[Homer]

Yes....50bmg....bought them several years ago I can’t tell a difference from cci’s....of course I’m not shooting for money at 1000 yards either... 250 for $40.....and yes, non corrosive
