CCI # 34 primers are a little harder, as to prevent "slam" fires im told. I have never had one with any reloads in mine. I always full length size and use a Wilson case gauge to check my cases. Mil cases [LC 90] seem to last longer for me. My best load so far is 42.0 grains of AA 2520 under a 168 hornady BTHP, with a Fed match primer, for about 2550 FPS. IIRC BLC-2 is a ball powder version of 4895, or close to it, and H335 works well in mine with 150's. Have fun with it.
