Anybody use "military NATO" primers?

As has been posted, “snooze and lose”. Components will not get easier to find. Hold out for a specific X Y or Z component… good luck! For LR magnum primers I would rank the CCI 34 at the top. For me they have been the most consistent magnum primer in dimension and performance I’ve ever used. I have no idea about other so-called “NATO” primers???
Have you tried Federal Gold 215M? I switched to these from 34 for my double and get better accuracy(same everything else) for my handloads. Just my experience. CCI 34 is CCI 250 with a thicker cup to prevent slam fires in military ammunition. I still prefer to use them as LR primers in my 9.3X62..no issues
 
I have been using them for my large rifle loads, no problems with them at all.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
