I just loaded 8 rounds for my Garand using H4895 (47.5 grains). The primers I selected were Winchester large rifle, read that they are almost as hard as mil primers. As far as the CCI #34 primers they are magnums as well.
I haven't shot any of my 8 rounds yet so I can't offer any advise based on experience, but good luck with your efforts.
