Details
This .45 ACP ammunition from CCI's Blazer series delivers cost effective target shooting for 1911s and a variety of other pistols in this popular caliber. Each round in this bulk priced case of 1,000 fires a 230 grain full metal jacket bullet at a muzzle velocity of 845 feet per second, producing typical .45 Auto ballistics along with heavy but controllable recoil.
Blazer ammunition is distinguished by its non-reloadable aluminum cases. These cases are not reusable but cost significantly less than Boxer-primed brass, making them a great choice for high volume range use.
CCI ammo is loaded in Lewiston, Idaho using the company's own primers, which are known for their high reliability. These rounds use non-corrosive Berdan primers.

Fires flawless without any problems in my Sig 220 and Hk UPS Elite. I just hope that this company can find a way to ship to California. I like their service and their prices. (Posted on 1/28/18)

I've gone through 500 rounds of the Amunition. Not a single FTF or FTE... This is very excellent Ammunition for the price. Runs a little dirty but I clean every hundred rounds so no big deal. Well that is as long as I'm not firing more than a hundred rounds at one time. (Posted on 1/1/15)

Bought 1000 rounds to break in me and my wife's new 1911.
The ammo shot fine, only had a few issues. One case didn't have the rib cut at the base to eject it but still shot. Expect to have a dirty gun after this ammo.
Wouldn't hesitate to buy more, neither should you.

High $$$ 1911 - Consistent performance & cleaner than expected, and satisfied with 4/1000 minor jambs. In comparison, this gun eats ammo: 1000's of re-manufactured brass FMJ rounds(only from the right places) to steel casing self-defense rounds without any issues. Same Blazer round in brass, not one issue in 1000+. It is the casing (AL).
A loved and pampered "not out of the box" 9 or 45 Glock - What can I say, they eat sand or slop! An "out of the box" Glock - 2/~1000 improper seating of the round, so no boom.
Out of Box, average pistol price, for occasional shooter - You will have jambs with (AL) casing, and will struggle when spring gets plenty of rounds on them (especially compacts). New spring will likely ram it home first 500+. I recommend same round in brass.
I agree, good range ammo. (Posted on 10/6/12)

I train with nothing else. Many ranges only allow non-metallic ammo, so having a large supply of CCI aluminum is critical.
Note: when you shoot regularly with this ammo, be prepared to clean your firearm after every session. Not as dirty as Tula, but still leaves residue. (Posted on 7/20/12)

500+ rds shot today at the range, used S&W M&P 45 and Springfield XD45. No issues with either weapon, no FTF or FTE. Good range ammo, will definately order more in the future as I would like to stock up as much as possible when the price is right. Cant speak to the cleanliness of the ammo since I am going to strip the guns down tomorrow. As far as accuracy well its a handgun so its all about how steady your aim is. (Posted on 6/23/12)

Bought these for a couple days of "plinking" with my Glock 21. Fast service, great price, and 1000 rounds successfully down range and on target without a single issue. The aluminum cases are also easier to see in the grass than brass which made it easier for us to clean up at the end of the day. (Posted on 4/10/12)

I've used Blazers quite a bit, because of their low cost. I experienced my first dislike of the ammo after shooting this weekend. I shot about 300 rounds out of my Taurus Millenium, and after about 200 rounds, I noticed that I was getting covered in black ashy residue from the rounds. When I broke down the gun to clean it, the gun was gummed up and did not want to come apart. This was the first time this ever happened to me. Of course, I blame myself for not cleaning it after every 100 rounds, or at least wiping it down. Usually I'll shoot about 100 rounds with no issues. Great ammo, and great service from bulkammo.com.

I also have had zero problems with this round. I've fired 500-600 rounds through my M1911 Colt and I can remember one jam. I've done literally NO better with the more expensive rounds. Two thumbs up here, folks! (Posted on 7/29/11)

What is everyone talking about when they say this stuff stinks? I have not had any issues with this ammo, and neither has my grand parents. Blazer has been around for as long as I can remember and has not misfied or failed to extract once in my experiences. Even while breaking in my new kahr 45, after the last 200 rounds=flawless.

The ballistics are middle of the pack The aluminum shells will sometimes over-expand in the chamber and cause some extraction difficulty. They seem to shoot fine in my Kimber 1911. The price is great! If you are trying them for the first time in an auto-load, I'd suggest buying a small box first to verify feed. (Posted on 12/11/10)

Q: I am looking for non steel core ammunition. Is this ammunition steel core?
Posted On: 7/3/14 By: Michael O'Brien
A: Hello Michael,
These 230gr. FMJ rounds by Blazer have a lead core and a copper jacket. These rounds do not have a steel core.
Q: Is this ammo reloadable?
Posted On: 7/22/12 By: Trevor
A: This CCI ammo is not reloadable. The manufacturer uses a Berdan priming system which will not accept the priming tools found on reloading dies. For reloading needs, boxer primed brass works best.
Q: Are there any known feeding issues with the aluminum cases vs brass? I know some 1911's can be picky but in general any issues?
Posted On: 10/21/11 By: Jacob
A: Not really. Blazer aluminum cased ammo is known to be very reliable across a wide spectrum of handguns. There are some imported pistols that have extraction issues with aluminum cased ammo, and the Thureon Defense carbines come with a recommendation against aluminum cased ammo because of feeding issues. However, if a 1911 is reliable with brass cased ammo, it should be reliable with aluminum cased ammo. It would be a good idea to test this with a small amount of ammo before ordering in bulk.
Q: Is this ammo manufactured in the USA?
Posted On: 10/20/11 By: Bill
A: Yes, this CCI Blazer ammo is made in the USA.
