Blazer Brass

[Wondermutt]

Have any of you guys used this? I have 700-1000 rounds of 9mm that I am sitting on the fence about using. If you have used them, what case did you use as a reference for your powder charges?

Thanks,

WM

If it is the gray brass, steel?, throw it in the trash or recycle bin. They are not meant to be reloaded.Rick.

Blazer/CCI also offer reloadable ammo in brass cases. I have to admit I don't push my handgun loads hard enough to worry about headstamps causing pressures to be too high.

What he said. Go ahead and load it up. I have some Blazer brass that I have reloaded five times in my 44 mag.

Its the brass cases, not the aluminum case.

Well, we loaded up a box of these using Berry's 115g 9mm round nose bullets. I followed the same load data that I use for Federal brass.

Other than cleaner guns, less recoil and tighter groups than the factory Blazer brass, I think I will will reload a few more hundred of them :grin:

Nice!

CCI hasn't gone to small pistol primers on their .45 ACP loads have they? I found some Federal (I think, and it's 933 miles away, so I can't check) with the small primers that I had to segregate out.

Sadly, yes, CCI has gone to the small pistol primers on their Blazer brass in .45 ACP. No problem, still reloadable, at least for those of us who also reload 9mm and .357 Magnum.
