anybody using the CCI #41 Mil Primers? gtg or ngtg? reloading 223 55gr fmj w/ VIHT N-140 Edit to fix the all caps in thread title. Please don't do that again. dryflash3 |

I use these CCI mil primers for both the 5.56 and the 308 not because I have to, because I want to. They burn hotter for igniting ball powder loads and are very consistent. When I stared loading 40 years ago, I made the decision to standardize on one brand of primers to simplify load development. There are more and less expensive primers out there. I find them consistent and almost always available. |

Everyone will tell you they are not needed, and they probably aren't, but they are all I use. might i ask why you choose them? To me they feel more "Smooth" seating them. More consistent. I think the thicker cup helps. I picked up some blue box CCI when there was nothing to be found, and everyone felt different seating them. They have worked themselves to the back of the shelf... Im running a Timney trigger and never had a light strike with the #41 |
