just opened a case of 5000 primers I bought for a hundred bucks couple years ago

I thought I was buying CCI large rifle. that much has been discovered to be true.  However they are No. 34.

Good thing no profanity is allowed here or I would be using some.

However I don't know how it will work out.  I'll shoot em and find out. I don't have any semi auto rifles.

Nothing hurt.

They are a little hard basically designed for the military to help preventing slam fire.
I would treat them as a magnum primer.

They are the CCI 250 (large rifle magnum) priming mix in a somewhat thicker/harder cup.  Identical ballistically, and won't have any issues firing reliably in a non-military rifle unless maybe possibly perhaps springs have been lightened up quite a lot (i.e. light firing pin strikes).
