Every ammo machine has been running 24/7 since the great one got elected.  Now that they have SOME leeway, they seem to be running 24/7 on their best margin product.

Never had a problem with CCI Blazer Brass or Aluminum. target ammo. In 9mm, 40 S&W, or 45ACP.

The only thing my Ruger 10/22 is finicky with is American Eagle 22LR. All other calibers work fine.

I purchased a ton of Blazer Brass in .45 ACP back when Wal-Mart carried it for $9.98 @ box. I still have several thousand rounds of it. Good clean shooting stuff. I save the brass because I reload everything. All of the stuff I have is head stamped "FEDERAL .45 ACP", with no reference to Blazer on the cartridge itself.  Bill T.

The Blazer Brass .45ACP and 9mm that I purchased earlier this yr are both labeled 'Blazer".

At work today one of the operators came up to me with a round and asked me if I'd seen one before. It happened to be a .38 sp in Blazer aluminum and I said yes but I've never bought or used them. He said "don't" as about half the ones he has shot have split the case and it's like shooting duds.

The head was stamped CCI. Oh, he mentioned he thought it must be good as it had "Made in the USA" on the box!

I've shot thousands of rounds of Blazer and never had any problem with the aluminum case. No duds either that I can remember. Maybe I'm just lucky.

I thought Speer Lawman was basically ball ammo loaded with the same weight bullet and charge as the more costly performance rounds to allow for cheaper practice.

I have seen the Blazer Brass available at wally World in the midwest.

Years ago the Speer Lawman ammo I had for my .357 was all 125 softpoints and 110 penta-points. The hollowpoint was a perfect pentagon. It was good ammo.

I'm going to ask the guy with the split casings and "duds" to bring them in so I can see them.

Actually I'll try shooting some if he wants to give them up so that I can form my own opinion.

spilt AL casings?  I find that really hard to beleave unless they were reloaded, drasticly under sized, or in oversized chambers. 

I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.
