    | 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 !

                      | Today the taxing power, rather than chattel slavery, is the instrument by which the parasitical element of the population subsists. And that element, which includes politicians, panics at the slightest reduction in the state's power to plunder. Once you start liberating taxpayers, even a little tiny bit, nobody knows where it may end. —Joseph Sobran |  |  |
