CCI 50 BMG Primers

CCI Primers are evaluated and refined throughout time. Because of this, CCI primers available today are more sensitive, simpler to seat, and compatible with progressive and automated loading equipment than ever before. For the cleanest burn possible, they use contemporary non-corrosive and non-mercuric initiator blends.

CCI 50 BMG Primers #35 are specifically designed for use in .50 BMG cartridges. These primers are known for their reliability, consistent performance, and ability to handle the high pressure generated by the .50 BMG cartridge.

Here are some details about CCI 50 BMG Primers #35:

1. Application: These primers are specifically designed for use in .50 BMG cartridges. The .50 BMG (Browning Machine Gun) cartridge is a large-caliber, powerful cartridge commonly used in heavy machine guns and long-range rifles.

2. Box and Tray Configuration: The primers are packaged in a box containing CCI 50 BMG 500 primers. The box is typically divided into 5 trays, with each tray holding 100 primers. This packaging configuration helps protect the primers during storage and transport.

3. Primer Type: The CCI 50 BMG Primers #35 are designated as “Large Rifle” primers. They have a specific formulation and design suited for use in large rifle cartridges like the .50 BMG. These primers are known for their ability to consistently ignite the powder charge in high-pressure applications.

4. Reloading Considerations: If you plan to use CCI 50 BMG Primers #35 for reloading .50 BMG cartridges, it’s important to consult reliable reloading manuals or trusted load data sources for appropriate load data specific to these primers. Proper load development and adherence to established reloading practices are crucial for safety and optimal performance.

5. Safety Precautions: When handling and reloading with CCI 50 BMG Primers #35, it’s essential to follow general safety precautions such as wearing appropriate safety equipment (safety glasses, hearing protection, etc.) and working in a clean and organized reloading area. Adhere to safe reloading practices, including using appropriate load data and inspecting components for defects.

Always prioritize safety when handling and reloading ammunition. If you are new to reloading or have limited experience, it is recommended to seek guidance from experienced reloaders or attend reloading courses to learn proper techniques and safety protocols.

Here are some specific safety guidelines to follow when handling CCI 50 BMG Primers #35:

1. Storage and Handling: Store CCI 50 BMG Primers #35 in their original packaging or in appropriate containers designed for primer storage. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from heat, flame, or other potential sources of ignition. Avoid dropping or mishandling primers, as this can cause damage or accidental discharge.

2. Inspect for Defects: Before using any primers, inspect them for defects such as dents, deformities, or signs of damage. Discard any primers that appear damaged, as they may pose a safety risk during handling or reloading.

3. Wear Safety Equipment: Always wear appropriate safety equipment when handling primers, including safety glasses and hearing protection. Primers can be sensitive to impact, and wearing safety glasses can help protect your eyes in case of accidental discharge or primer failure.

4. Avoid Contamination: Keep primers away from contaminants such as oil, solvents, and excessive moisture. Contamination can affect their sensitivity or reliability. It is recommended to handle primers with clean, dry hands to minimize the risk of contamination.

5. Avoid Excessive Force: When seating primers into cartridge cases, apply gentle and consistent pressure. Avoid using excessive force, as it can cause primer damage or accidental discharge. Use a proper seating tool that is designed for the caliber and primer type you are working with.

6. One Primer at a Time: Only handle one primer at a time during the reloading process. This reduces the risk of accidental discharge or mixing up primers.

7. Follow Established Reloading Practices: Adhere to safe reloading practices, including using appropriate load data, carefully measuring powder charges, and ensuring proper seating depths. Follow step-by-step reloading procedures meticulously, paying close attention to quality control and safety measures.

8. Dispose of Damaged or Misfired Primers Properly: If a primer fails to ignite during reloading or shows signs of damage, do not attempt to reuse it. Dispose of damaged or misfired primers according to local regulations and guidelines.

Remember, safe reloading practices are critical to prevent accidents and ensure your safety. If you are new to reloading or have limited experience, consider seeking guidance from experienced reloaders or attending reloading courses for proper instruction and safety protocols.
