Blazer Brass in 45acp is the suck. I had to sift a couple of hundred cases out of my five gallon bucket of prepped brass. Took an entire vacation day, my eyes are too old for this carp.
All of the cases were dished in around the primer hole. Like a small bowl.

I have at least a thousand brass cases of large primer 45 ACP Blazer Brass
Some are on at least there 5th loading of mild-moderate 45 ACP loads. I use this for the range. No problems. This brass was previously purchased by as new factory ammo and now I reload for 45 ACP The heads of the cases have three distinct shapes and stamps in the lots I have (all purchased in a 3- 4 year period early to mid 2000 range). No split case mouths, no loose pockets so far. For a while the brass came from the factory with a depressed area around the primer pocket, that was their early brass, Then it seemed to change to a typical flat case head. I have both and both have worked fine for my purposes. I only use new brass from Starline for really hot loads. Keep in mind the +P and +P+ brass is no different in dimension or strength, it is just marked so you know how hot it is loaded from the factory.

Blazer brass is thin. I have no problem when loading plated bullets, but they had no neck tension when I tried to load pulled 147gn FMJ. Switched to Federal brass and the FMJ holds tight. I reserve the Blazer brass for lead and plated bullets now.

I have three carbide die sets for reloading 45 ACP
I use the tightest (smallest) diameter dies for resizing which happen to be Hornady sizing die. I also use the Lee Factory Crimp die on my 9 MM and 45 ACP brass cases. So I have not noticed any neck tension issues with Winchester 230 FMJ or Berry's or X-treme plated 45 ACP loads and 45 ACP brass. My CCW ammo is a 185 grain Hollow Point and load a lot of plated flat point 185 gran bullets without problems in any of my brass, including Blazer Brass. I would say most of my Blazer brass is the cupped head design. |
