Description
When you want to practice more without breaking the bank, Blazer is built for that mission. These loads use heat-treated aircraft-grade aluminum cases instead of brass, which cuts the per-round cost while keeping reliability intact. The case material is coated for smooth functioning and corrosion resistance, so feeding is consistent and the aluminum won't rust in storage.
Blazer Aluminum Performance
You're getting Speer bullets paired with CCI primers, two components with solid track records. The propellants burn clean to deliver consistent chamber pressures and accurate grouping. Running at 920 fps with 376 foot-pounds of energy, the 200-grain hollow point has enough punch for its intended use while staying manageable in recoil. Range reports show these rounds are accurate enough for real practice, not just plinking, and they function reliably in most 44 Special revolvers.
Built for Non-Reloaders
The aluminum cases aren't designed for reloading, which is actually part of why Blazer can offer better pricing to shooters who buy fresh ammunition. This isn't a downside if you're buying practice ammo anyway. The non-corrosive primers mean no cleanup hassles after a range session, and the cases won't corrode if stored in less-than-ideal conditions.
Good Ammunition at a Better Price
Blazer has been on the market since 1981 and earned its reputation by delivering the performance you need without the premium pricing. These rounds work for indoor range training, casual shooting, or keeping your skills sharp without the cost of name-brand defensive loads.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I reload CCI Blazer aluminum cases?
No, Blazer aluminum cases are not designed for reloading. They're manufactured as single-use cases to keep the initial cost down. If you reload, you'll want to stick with brass-cased ammunition instead.
How accurate are Blazer rounds compared to premium ammunition?
Blazer delivers solid accuracy for practice and training. These rounds use Speer bullets and CCI primers, both reliable components. Users report tight groups at 25 yards off-hand, making them suitable for regular range work even if you're not using high-end defensive loads.
Is the 920 fps velocity suitable for .44 Special revolvers?
Yes, 920 fps is a solid velocity for .44 Special and works reliably in all modern .44 Special firearms. It provides good ballistic performance while staying within the normal pressure range for the cartridge.
Are these Blazer rounds corrosive?
No, these rounds use non-corrosive Boxer primers, so there's no need for special cleanup after shooting. You can store them long-term without worrying about the ammunition degrading or the firearm corroding.
