CCI Small Rifle 5.56mm NATO-Spec Military Primers #41

Looking for CCI primers for 223 built to genuine military standards? Made to the same specifications as the U.S. Military, CCI #41 primers use a magnum priming mix and a harder cup specifically to reduce the chances of slam-fire in semi-auto rifles with floating firing pins — a real safety consideration for AR-platform shooters running 5.56mm/.223 Remington.

CCI primers are continuously tested and improved, and today’s formulations are more sensitive, easier to seat, and more compatible with progressive and automated loading equipment than ever before. Each #41 primer uses a modern, non-corrosive and non-mercuric initiator mix for the cleanest possible burn, using the same reliable ignition data as CCI’s magnum primer line — a smart, consistent choice for high-volume AR shooters who go through a lot of brass. As always, cross-reference your specific 5.56mm/.223 load with CCI’s official reloading data before loading.

If you’re reloading for a bolt-action rifle rather than a semi-auto platform, the standard CCI Small Rifle Primers #400 is typically the more economical, everyday choice, with the #41 reserved specifically for the slam-fire protection semi-autos benefit from.
