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 ! |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
