Instead, they are built to service load specification. If you use any brand with the same bullet weight, the load’s point of impact and recoil will be the same as the service load. Blazer’s aluminum-cased ammunition features berdan priming.Īs an example, those using the Speer 115-grain Gold Dot, Federal 124-grain HST, or Federal 147-grain HST will have a service load with the same point of impact as these popular service loads. These loads offer a choice for those wishing to use an inexpensive training load with the same point of impact on target as their service load. The 9mm caliber is represented by three bullet weights, 115-, 124- and 147-grain, respectively. In this report, I am concentrating on CCI Blazer 9mm.
I have fired CCI Blazer loads in revolvers, self-loading pistols, and carbines with excellent results. This type of care in manufacture results in a loading with excellent feed reliability.
#Aluminum 9mm bullets full
The powder combination is developed for reliability and a full powder burn. The projectile is a full metal jacketed bullet in most loads. While Blazer isn’t cheaply made, it is affordable. It isn’t the type that is used in cheap lawn chairs. I think I should stress that the aluminum used in the Blazer brass ammunition cartridge case is a high-grade aluminum of the type that is sometimes referred to as aircraft aluminum. Watch for it on sale and you have a great option for training purposes. The original aluminum case Blazer is affordable and useful. Much later, CCI introduced a Blazer brass option, but that is another story. The CCI Blazer line was intended as a low cost offering for those who do not reload. Folks at CCI realized that more than three quarters of shooters do not reload. It is cheaper than a brass cartridge case to manufacture though. The aluminum case isn’t recommended for reloading. Berdan primers are reliable in many conditions but these cases are not easily reloadable. The 9mm Blazer features an aluminum cartridge case with a Berdan primer. These aluminum cases were strong enough to withstand high pressure and feed well. As an example, the legendary Warthog, or Thunderbolt tank buster, as it is variously known of Desert Storm fame, made use of 30mm aluminum case ammunition.Ĭertain jet attack aircraft could not have gotten off the ground with a load of brass cased 9mm ammunition.
There have been aluminum cartridges before, developed primarily for the military, so the blazer is nothing new.
Blazer is a play on burner loads (loads intended for inexpensive practice, I guess), and the name fits these loads. If you do not reload, there is little point in using brass-cased ammunition for practice.ĬCI Blazer ammunition was introduced in 1981. 22 rimfire ammunition, while the 9mm is simply awesome for range work. CCI is best known for its success with first-class. These are heavy hitters with an excellent reputation in the firearms world. CCI is a branch of the Vista Outdoor Company that also owns Federal Cartridge Company and Speer.
