Aluminum Cased Ammunition.

[Rosereader]

The manual for my Marlin 1894C instructs not use aluminum cased ammo in the carbine.

This, and Stanze's anecdote are confirming my concerns about the aluminum cases being soft.

Went back to the same Walmart where I got no service yesterday and bought 3 boxes of the Fed .45 at $14.97 ea. Going to try some Friday.

I don't have any blazer on hand. I have some hydrashock, but based on it's shine I'm guessing nickel.


The ranges I go to allow any sort of casings. Why don't yours?

Some ranges allow it and some don't. Also the CCI Blazer ammo feels slightly hot.

I'm running through that 9mm on Saturday. I tried running it through the action of my BHP and it seemed fine, now I get to see what it's like in use.

Anyone try Herter's aluminum cased ammo?

I don't know guys, I reload into aluminum cased 9mm and they work just fine...

I've shot just a couple of boxes. No problems. It's usually the same price as their brass, so I buy the brass if they have it. Their aluminum cased ammo is loaded by Blazer. it's got that goofy nylon coated bullet.
