Blazer ammo

Someone told me that Blazer ammo is inferior. True?

Works fine for me.
9mm brass cased on sale locally for $15 box of 50 too.

one of my favorite ammo, alittle more dirty the Winchester, but alot more cleaner then Remington!

Similar to Winchester white box. Price and Quality are similar.

Low end CCI.

I have shot a bunch of it , never an issue .

It is as dangerous to your gun as WD40...

Never forget, half of what "they" and "somebody" says is flat-out wrong; the rest is highly suspect.

It's probably "inferior" in some way, as far as somebody is concerned. Maybe it doesn't function well in their super-tight custom $6000 1911, or maybe it's not as accurate as their preferred $35 per box ammo. I once talked to a guy who thought all Federal ammo was "crap", including their Gold Medal Match stuff (which he had never tried). Same is probably true of all factory ammo and reloads, too - somebody somewhere thinks it's "inferior" (or "the absolute best " ;^) for some reason.

As always IMHO, FWIW, YMMV, etc., etc.

I haven't shot much Blazer Brass but, I've shot multiple cases of the aluminum cased Blazer in 9mm and 45 acp and never had a problem.

Never had an issue with either the aluminum or brass cases in a number of different calibers. Only firearm I won't use it in is my Marlin 1894 .44 Mag lever action because the manual says not to.

Never a problem with Blazer, but they do use a small primer in 45 acp - at least in the ammo I've acquired recently.

I've shot "Blazer" ammo and never had a problem.

I've shot a lot of Blazer with not issues. I have caught it on sale $12.99 for a 50 round box at Academy recently.

I've shot lots of 9mm and .45 and the only problem has been my Glock 30 tears up the aluminum cases instead of ejecting them.

Seems like I've shot some in the past but really don't remember how it did... I think I've heard from the internet that sometimes it is sketchy in some guns... but you know low budget ammo is great for practice.... I just would not 'carry' it or have it in a home defense weapon sitting at the ready. But then I personally don't buy cheap guns, or pretty much cheap anything but I will try cheap ammo. But then, as Jimmy Buffett said, "I've made enough money to buy Miami .... and I p!$$d it away so fast.... but it was never meant to last."

Thanks

About 25 / 30 years ago our local Fred Meyers store decided to quit selling ammo. I bought six 50 round boxes of 357 magnum Blazer ammo for $6.99 a box. I wish they had more of it for sale. My S.S. Blackhawk loves it and I still have two boxes of it.

Works fine in my LPC

Their 9MM FMJ offerings are slower and less consistent than S&B or PMC, both of which BTW still load .45ACP cartridges using large primers....And as an added bonus, neither of those two cost a bit more than Blazer Brass. So to me, what the question comes down to is "why bother?".
