These are about the only primers I can seem to find to replace my federal gold medal match primers. Has anyone used these in a bolt gun and if so any deviations outside of maybe a decrease in powder charge due to these being magnums? Is there a risk of them not being able to ignite due to the lighter trigger?
CCI #34 in bolt gun?

Unless you are running a marginally low power spring you wont notice any difference.
Buy them, they will work fine. If you want to drop your powder charge 1 grain or so, do it and then check velocity from your original 210 load. Been using them for years in all rifles.
This is great to hear. I was just about to post the same question. I picked up 1200 of them a couple days ago.
I imagine they work great in an ar10 as well.

Correct, the AR-10 or any mil variety of 7.62x51 NATO Is exactly what they were designed for.
The SD's on your loads may not be a s good as the GM primers, but right now we have to take what we can get.
They are NOT a magnum primer, they are "7.62mm NATO-Spec Military Primers". They just have a thicker cup to prevent unintentional ignition as the semi-auto bolt slams home.
Actually they do contain a magnum priming mix to ensure efficient ignition of ball powders in all temperature conditions primarily cold conditions.
I believe they also a slightly wider gap between the cap and anvil for added security ( less sentivity )
