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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
