Description
CCI Blazer Brass .40 S&W ammunition is built for shooters who want dependable performance without the premium price tag. These 180 grain full metal jacket rounds deliver what you need for hours at the range: consistent velocity, clean burning powders, and no surprises when feeding or extracting.
What Makes Blazer Brass Different
The real advantage here is the brass casing. Unlike aluminum cased rounds, these cases are reloadable and can be cycled through your press multiple times if you reload. The standard boxer-type primers and primer pockets are straightforward to work with, making this a smart choice for reloaders looking to stretch their ammunition budget. The full metal jacket design keeps lead deposits minimal in your barrel, which means less frequent cleaning and better accuracy over extended sessions.
Performance You Can Count On
With a muzzle velocity of 985 fps and muzzle energy of 388 foot-pounds, this load shoots predictably in most .40 S&W pistols. CCI manufactures these in Idaho using the same quality standards and facilities that produce their higher-end product lines. The clean-burning propellants and reliable primers mean you'll spend more time actually shooting and less time troubleshooting failures to feed or fire. The 180 grain weight sits right in the middle of the .40 S&W spectrum, offering manageable recoil and solid accuracy for training drills and target work.
Built for the Range
This ammunition is purpose-built for volume shooting. Whether you're working on fundamentals, running through defensive drills, or just plinking at the range, Blazer Brass gives you a no-frills, no-excuses round that performs. At 50 rounds per box, you can build your range session around it without inventory headaches.
