So I picked up a box of this stuff this morning since it was only $15, a friend of mine loves it but I never tried it through my guns. I'm sending it through a Hi-Point 4595 Carbine that has seen only brass cased ammo so I want to know will there be anything I need to watch or will it be business as usual?

It works just fine for practice stuff. I bought some awhile back and it's decent.  OR I bet if you happened to shoot a home invasion robber with it, he would not like it one bit either.

If it's anything like the Federal Aluminum 9mm, that I have shot a LOT of, it will be just fine, if a bit hotter than the standard Federal Champion brass stuff.

I mean its going through a 4595 Carbine, a Hi Point no less, granted the carbines they make are a world above their pistols, I think it will eat it up.

Should be good to go, Fed Aluminum is good stuff. Ive run a ton of 9mm and .45 through my plastic guns and 1911s as well.

It is good to go. Made by CCI as best I tell. I have shot a lot of the Federal 9mm with no issues

Shot both with no issues, and both flavors do seem to be loaded a bit hotter than the brass versions.

I've had good luck with all the federal aluminum case ammo.

I've shot over a 1,000 rds of .45 acp but did get a squib round in my S&W 325PD 4" barrel model.  As soon as I fired it I knew what had happened & sure enough round was half way down the barrel.  I have a email in to Federal.
