| How is Blazer ammuniton? 50 pack 12.99 40 S&W |

Quoted:
Should I still buy them if there aluminum? At that price, I would hold off and look for Blazer Brass instead (even my WalMart has that still on the racks - this post reminds me that I need to go pick some up  ). Even if you don't reload, you can always trade the brass to another shooter or sell it for scrap (I don't know if anyone will take the Blazer aluminum cases for scrap.  )
Of course, if that is the only source you can get ammo from and you really need it, go ahead and grab it. |

I've shot Blazer aluminum cased ammo in 9mm, .357 Sig, .357 Magnum, 10mm, .44 Special, .45 ACP, and .45 Colt. I've never had a problem with any of it. It is not reloadable, so you can't reuse the cases, but you can reuse the boxes and trays, which I have been known to do.
Don't think I'd pay $13/50 for their aluminum .40 S&W ammo, especially since I've seen .40 S$W Blazer Brass (reloadable brass cased ammo made by the same folks) at Walmart for $12/50. |

I like the Al ammo, cheaper and lighter :) Nice when you're humping a couple of cases to the range... Not sure why so many folks reference reloadability. There's a lot fewer folks reload their ammo than you might think. The aluminum stuff is lower power. It doesn't cycle many guns very well. A lot more people reload now than what you think. |
| I bought the last three boxes of blazer brass in .40 at my local walmart for $12.47 per box of 50. A pretty good deal, I wish that they had more. I have shot this ammo quite a lot and also have shot thousands of rounds of the aluminum cased stuff through a mixture of Glocks mostly with no problems. I would buy it if you can get it. |
