Default CCI Blazer aluminum?
CCI Blazer aluminum case - Pretty sure I've used it before, fine for range ammo right? I found a pretty decent deal and I don't reload 9mm.

Yes, GTG for range use.

Makes freedom mags a little bit lighter

Definitely GTG, good training or range ammo

Thanks C87 and M76. It's $30 cheaper per 1,000 than the cheapest new brass I've found and if I remember right it doesn't stink or filthy up your gun nearly as much as the steel stuff. I'm pretty sure I got 1,000 in .45 ACP back in the short time they had a Sportsmans in Victorville and I don't recall any failures to note.

After all, $30 will buy you a burger and small fries at 5-Guys.

Definitely decent enough range ammo. I ran through a case of it back when ammo was plentiful and not crazy money, and don't recall any issues at all.

I know for a fact some guys even reload it, I think the rule of thumb was "safe to reload until the primers won't stay in".

I was thinking you probably could, I can't really see why not. I just have plenty of 9mm and TBH it's just not worth my time for what little money I'd save. Unless it's something a little more exotic I generally leave my common caliber brass at the range for the guy that does have the time.

Just ordered 2K of it. I'll post here if it doesn't run well in my guns but I think that's unlikely.

Thank you for the input guys.

It would be great to hear from someone that has/does reload aluminum cases.
