CCI Ammunition is one of the most well-known producers of aluminum-cased cartridges, having popularized this style with their "Blazer" line of ammunition. However, if you are looking for aluminum-cased ammo in 9mm, .40 S&W or .45 ACP, Blazer is hard to beat. The difference between brass vs. aluminum is a common question. One big reason that aluminum bullets are gaining fans among the shooting public is cost savings.

FWIW- boxer primed .45 ACP aluminum cases work fine for moderate reloads(in my case, maybe 850 fps with cast bevel base 200 gr. SWC)
The necks will split if you don't flare the case slooowwwly !
I usually get 4 reloads out of the ones I can find . Which is why I like 'em, I use 'em when it's not likely I'll find my cases anyway.
I cry if I can't find all my brass casings, got some WCC61 that's been reloaded so many times I have no clue ! |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
