The Blazer Aluminum line is CCI's answer to a simple problem: how do you keep shooting your .45 without going broke doing it? The trick is the case. Instead of brass, these rounds ride on heat-treated aircraft-grade aluminum, which costs less to make and passes those savings straight to you. What you get is a classic 230-grain full metal jacket load traveling at 845 fps with 365 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, tuned for plinking, drills, and putting rounds downrange all day.
Don't let the aluminum fool you. Aluminum is softer than the steel of your chamber, so there's no worry about wear on your pistol, and this stuff has been running in guns since the early 1980s. Folks who've fed it through 1911s, Glocks, SIGs, XDs, and revolvers report the kind of dependable feeding and positive ejection you want out of practice ammo. The recoil impulse on the 230-grain bullet feels honest to the caliber, so it's great prep before moving to your defensive loads.
Every round is loaded with quality bullets and reliable non-corrosive primers, and the cases are coated for smooth cycling and corrosion resistance. The one thing to keep in mind is that aluminum cases are not reloadable, so this is a shoot-and-leave-it proposition. If you're a reloader who saves brass, this isn't your huckleberry, but if you just want to shoot and walk away, that's actually a perk since you're not stooping to police your empties.
This is training and target ammo, plain and simple. New shooters logging trigger time, competition folks running practice stages, and anyone who shoots a lot and wants to stretch their ammo budget will all find plenty to like here. Made in Lewiston, Idaho by one of the most trusted names in the business.
Yes. The aluminum case is softer than the steel of your chamber, so there's no risk of damaging your gun, and this ammo has been a proven range staple since the early 1980s. It's run reliably in everything from 1911s and Glocks to SIGs and revolvers. As with any new ammo, it's smart to run a box or two through your specific pistol to confirm it feeds the way you like.
No, the aluminum cases are not reloadable. Aluminum doesn't stretch or hold up to resizing like brass does, so these are designed as one-and-done. The upside is you can leave the empties where they land and skip the brass hunt at the range.
Both are solid budget range loads from CCI. The main difference is the case: Blazer Aluminum uses non-reloadable aluminum to keep the price lower, while Blazer Brass uses reloadable boxer-primed brass. If you don't save your brass, the aluminum version gives you the same 230-grain FMJ practice performance for less.
It's built for target practice, training drills, and casual plinking. The 230-grain FMJ bullet feeds smoothly and gives you familiar full-caliber recoil, making it a great choice for logging trigger time before you switch to defensive ammo. It's not marketed as self-defense ammo, so keep it in the practice rotation.
