CCI no.34 primers... Anyone know where to find them? I'm trying to locate some military specs primers (harder than the regular primers) to use in semi-auto rifles with floating firing pins.

any idea?

thanks
 
CCI regular primers are already harder than most other brands of primers anyway. I know not milspec hard but still significantly harder than, say, Winchester or Federal. I have run about 1000 CCI No. 200 LRP's through my Norc M305 with floating firing pin without a problem. Several times I've pulled a round out of the chamber that I didn't fire (clearing the rifle when told to safety by the RO for example) and twice it had a mark from the firing pin on the rear. Not an indent but obviously a light mark from where it got partially struck when the bolt slammed forward; more of a scuff or scratch really.

So far zero failures to fire and zero slam fires.

Just my $0.02. If you really want no.34 primers I have seen them come up from time to time in the reloading section of the EE. Not sure of anyone specific selling them at the moment though.
 
I have found so much conflicting statements on primers it's hard to tell what is fact or years of hearsay. The following link is the most comprehensive I have ever seen and provides a good amount of detail into primers. It's long, but give it a good read, based on testing not word of mouth. How this helps.

I'm not to concerned slam firing a string of 5 rounds (maybe 10) maybe if we were allowed regular cap mags I might consider going out of my way for milspec primers.
I've never experienced any slam fires or anything from my AR15 using standard small rifle primers. (Winchester. Federal and CCI)
