Description
CCI Blazer Brass ammunition is designed for shooters who want dependable, no-nonsense range ammo at a good value. This .45 ACP round features a 230-grain full metal jacket bullet loaded to 830 fps, delivering the ballistics you'd expect from standard .45 ACP ammunition. The protected-base FMJ design feeds reliably through most pistols and shoots clean.
What Makes Blazer Brass .45 ACP Suitable for Range Days
You get reloadable brass cases with standard Boxer-type primers, which means you can reload these if you're into that. The ammunition is made with clean-burning propellants and premium CCI primers, so ignition is consistent round after round. Most users report it performs without issues through various .45 platforms, from 1911s to modern service pistols. The brass comes out reasonably clean, making it straightforward to process if you reload.
Built to Industry Standards
Blazer Brass is manufactured to SAAMI specifications and backed by ISO-certified quality systems. CCI is based in Lewiston, Idaho and has been making ammunition for decades. The 352 ft-lbs of muzzle energy keeps recoil manageable for extended practice sessions, and the 230-grain bullet weight is the standard for .45 ACP, so it'll feed in anything chambered in this caliber.
Good Value for Training and Practice
This ammunition delivers reliable performance at a price point that makes it practical for regular range trips. Whether you're putting rounds through a Government 1911, a modern tactical platform, or anything in between, Blazer Brass functions without the fuss. It's the kind of ammo that lets you focus on shooting instead of worrying about reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is CCI Blazer Brass .45 ACP suitable for reloading?
Yes. The brass cases come with standard Boxer-type primers and primer pockets, so you can reload them like any other brass. The cases are typically clean and hold up well for multiple reloads. Note that this load uses small pistol primers rather than the traditional large pistol primers, so if you reload, make sure your dies and components match.
How does this ammo perform in 1911s and modern .45 ACP pistols?
Blazer Brass cycles reliably through most .45 ACP firearms. The protected-base FMJ bullet feeds smoothly, and the 830 fps velocity is consistent with standard .45 ACP loads. Most users report no malfunctions or ejection issues across different platforms, whether you're running a 1911, service pistol, or other .45 ACP gun.
Will I need to clean my gun more after shooting Blazer Brass?
The ammo uses clean-burning propellants and generally produces less fouling than some budget alternatives. Most shooters report the residue is manageable and standard gun cleaning after a range session takes care of it. Some notes that powder residue can be visible, but nothing out of the ordinary for factory ammunition.
Is this ammunition appropriate for competition or defensive use?
Blazer Brass is designed and marketed for target shooting, range training, and practice. The FMJ bullet design makes it ideal for these applications. If you're considering it for other purposes, consult the manufacturer or relevant guidelines for your intended use.
