CCI #35 Primer Box: Heavy Caliber Priming Power

Handloaders working with .50 BMG brass recognize heavy caliber priming power as essential for reliable ignition. The thick cup and robust anvil withstand the intense pressure this cartridge generates without cratering. That structural strength keeps ignition timing consistent from the first round to the last. For comparable large-caliber reliability, see our CCI Large Rifle Primers #200.

CCI #35 Primer Box: Frequently Asked Questions

Are these primers safe to store at home?

CCI 50 BMG Primers store safely in a cool, dry cabinet away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the box sealed until use and store it separately from bulk powder. Following NSSF’s ammunition storage guidelines further reduces any handling risk at home.

Which cartridges use this primer size?

Beyond standard .50 BMG loads, the CCI 50 BMG Primers also work in several other large-caliber magnum rifle cartridges that call for this primer size. Always confirm your load data specifies this exact primer before loading.

Are these considered magnum-rated primers?

CCI 50 BMG Primers carry a magnum-rated priming charge built to ignite the large, dense powder charges .50 caliber loads require. Standard rifle primers lack the energy needed for consistent ignition in this cartridge, similar to how our CCI Large Rifle Primers #200 serve smaller magnum applications.

How many primers come in this box?

Each box ships with the CCI 50 BMG Primers packed 500 to a case, arranged across 5 trays of 100 for easy handling at the loading bench. View bulk pricing across our primer catalog.

How long do primers last in storage?

These primers remain reliable for years when kept dry and sealed in their original packaging. Extreme humidity or temperature swings are the biggest threat to long-term primer performance. Rotate older stock to the front when adding a new box to your shelf.
