CCI No.41 5.56mm NATO-Spec Small Rifle Primers
Military-style semi-auto rifles seldom have firing pin retraction springs. If care is not used in assembling ammunition, a “slam-fire” can occur before the bolt locks. The military arsenals accomplish this using different techniques and components—including different primer sensitivity specifications—from their commercial counterparts. CCI makes rifle primers for commercial sale that matches military sensitivity specs that reduce the chance of a slam-fire when other factors go out of control. If you’re reloading for a military semi-auto, look to CCI Military primers.
- Mil-spec sensitivity
- Initiator mix optimized for ball/spherical propellants
- Use the same data as CCI Magnum primers
Effective slam-fire prevention requires more than special primers. Headspace, chamber condition, firing pin shape and protrusion, bolt velocity, cartridge case condition, and other factors can affect slam-fire potential.

Here’s the big caveat:
“If you’re reloading for a military semi-auto, look to CCI Military primers.”
Pretty near the last sentence.
Guess what? I’ll bet next to none of us are reloading for a “…a military semi-auto…”.
You can swap out these for CCI 450 small rifle magnum primers and save another $10-$15 to dollars/1k.
Last I knew, $109.99 rounds up closer to $110.00 than down to $100.00
Just saying 10 cents each isn’t 11 cents each; which is a ten dollar difference.
I’m not cheap…I’m frugal.
Ouch. Outrageous.
NOT !
I don’t support price gougers! They can all go to hell!
At these prices, just buy ammo. It’s cheaper. We are not stupid.
