[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 614753, member: 15748"] Red, CCI primers tend to run a bit "fatter" than others, and this is quite common with them. I assume you're loading for a military rifle with a floating firing pin? Still, you might try another make (Rem 9 1/2, WLRs, whatever) just to see if that resolves the problem. If you're really worried about slam fires, just remember that the thicker cup of the #34 is offset by primers being seated high, which results in an even greater risk of slam fires. Make sure they're seated at least a few thou below the case head, and you reduce the risk of this happening quite a bit, regardless of the make of primer you're using. [/QUOTE]
