Blazer Ammo

[RedRyder]

I'm needing to get some range ammo and there's a heckuva lot of this Blazer Brass 9mm ammo on Gunbroker right now. Anybody used this and what did you think of it.

thanks for input.:confused:

I've not used the 9 but we use the 45 here at the department for training and it's never given us any issues.

I reload the brass and it works real well. Small primer even in 45 but it works good.

The 9 mm Blazer brass works ok.

anytime I could buy it cheaper than i can buy wwb at wal mart, I often bought it. It is good range fodder. Do I prefer the brass over the aluminum, yes I do and why???I just don't know either. I don't reload anymore and the aluminum worked fine and normally is alittle less bucks to..

[Bawanna]

I've had very good luck with the aluminum case stuff. We've used it for training too in the past. I found the brass cased for just a bit more money and wanted it to reload so ordered brass.

Kind of nice really with the aluminum you don't feel the need to find every case and don't get a guilt complex leaving any good brass behind.

Course I'm a brass hoarder so I have a complex anyhow.

[Flincher]

I've shot quite a lot of Blazer .38s. Inexpensive, go bang, but IMO very dirty.

I've had good luck with Blazer Brass, too.

Before the SHTF, 9mm was readily available for $220/1000 or less. What's the price now?

[jocko]

probably $1000/220 rounds.

[O'Dell]

Blazer is okay as long as it's brass. Maybe just a bit underpowered, but that's all right for most pistols. I never shoot aluminum or steel though.

I got a case of the Blazer Brass not too long ago and went through a couple hundred rounds without any problems. Thanks to gun.bot I was able to find another 500 rounds at Palmetto State Armory at 14.99 for a box of 50. Was delivered today. Way cheaper than what I've been seeing at Gunbroker. You have to be on your toes though because when something comes up it goes real fast.

I just went to the range with my G23C. I was shooting a mixed magazine of the odds left over and started with PPU 180-gr FMJ... kind of mild... caught me by surprise when the recoil and boom increased dramatically... was the Blazer Al-Cased 165-gr FMJ... kind of ferocious... then the Federal Champion 180-gr Value-Pack-100 FMJ... seems stout, too!

Brass and Aluminum cased has all worked fine for me.

[Rubb]

It's ran fine for me in 380, 9 and 45.

[Ol'coot]

I have shot several thousand rounds of both the aluminum and brass cased Blazer both runs fine in my all my guns 40 S&W and 9mm

Brass ammo works okay. Unlike "B" I cannot hate upon aluminium ammo enough. I have seen it fail more often than not when I saw it used on the PD range. My department has banned the useage of aluminium ammo.

Other than my SD rounds, Blazer Brass is the only thing I shoot now in any of my 9x19 or .45ACP guns. Went through a bunch of aluminum in 9x19 a while back - no problems with it either, but the one and only indoor range I ever went to bans it for some reason.

Since they probably sell the brass hulls to a recycler either they or the recycler does not want the hassle of seperating out the brass from the aluminium.

Works fine in revolver and semi-auto calibers. The 9 mm seems to me dirtier than the 45 acp - have not tried the 40 S&W.

[Sgt.K]

Haven't shot any yet but the "Independence" brass case that I bought just at the end of the year has a Blazer headstamp that causes me no concern. Got the 1000 at $250 shipped but took a month from Target Sports.

[RedRyder]

Thanks for all the responses folks. I tried that Palmetto State Armory site someone mentioned but alas they are now out also. Wish I could have gotten some at $14.99/ box. I bid on a couple of lots on Gunbroker and got both of them. FIgured somebody would outbid me on at least one but I've now got 2 - 350 rd boxes coming to me at $160 per box. Very pricey but I could not find it anywhere and the local box stores don't have any or the LGS's. Crazy days but at least I'm set for awhile. Now I hope it works in my Kahr, Ruger and Sig. I had shot the aluminum cased previously but not the brass so I figure it ought to work ok.

Thanks again for the info.:Amflag2:

My how times change. In December I was buying the 350-rd boxes of 9mm Blazer Brass at my local farm store for $79.99 apiece. Now I wish I had bought a lot more than I did - shelves were bare last time I was in a few weeks ago.

[RedRyder]

I sure as heck hope we get some reason to the madness soon. Range time will be shortened considerably for me at this price. At least I found some .380 at Cabela's yesterday for somewhat reasonable price.

You guys looking for 380 ammo, Palmetto State Armory has Blaser Brass for $20.99 a box right now, not cheap, buy $5.00 cheaper than local gun shops around here. Hope some of you that are looking for 380 get some.

[QuercusMax]

Happened to stop by my LFS (local farm store) today. Went by the gun section just to check on how much dust had been piling up on the ammo shelves. Was very surprised to see maybe 50 large (350-rd) boxes of Blazer Brass 9x19 for $90 each, and a smaller supply of large boxes of .40 S&W as well.

Very good sign!

I'm not short of 9x19 at the moment, but it seemed prudent to throw a box in the shopping cart anyway (that's all they will let you buy at one time for now) because I would really hate for those nasty hoarders to get any.
