I'm not a big fan of Blazers. The casings must split easily during manufacturing because I swear I find at least one bad round in every box.

is it blazers all around or the aluminum cased? my experience with blazers was, my friend had a box for his cz .40 and we had one non-chamber out of that box, all the others were fine.

I used the .45 Blazer's for my Glock 21 when I go to the range. Definitely dirty but my Glock doesn't mind lol.

If anyone cares about their guns, they wouldnt shoot these at all, they are dirty and I dont want all that in my gun or possibly causes any other issues when I may need it the most. I have found damaged casings, a lot of miss fires, they didnt eject which causes a jam which isnt good on your gun in the first place, especially repeated jams. Some people swear by it thou, you pay for what you get in IMO.

i would just be shooting these aluminum rounds at the range to save costs. i have winchester rounds in my gun right now for my home and those i will have in it for my ccp. i know they work every time and if i need it i am going with confidence all the way! just need to pick up some hollow points to swap out my jacked rounds for.

it is just $250 is still $250 i don't want to be left with alot of rounds with no use for them...at best i could give them to my uncle if they dont preform in my gun. he has a thomson center with a .45/.410 barrel so a single shot would handle anything you throw at it.
 
Isn't nickel better?

For bulk Target shooting I've always went with federal, cheap easy and readily available, great in my glock 26.

I've shot aluminum Blazers out of my 45 with no problems at all. I don't suggest aluminum Blazer 357s though. Lol. I made that mistake and will never buy another box again!

Junk, junk, junk and dirty....I would toss them if I were you. I shot them from my Kimber .45, was the worst rounds ever, I gave them to my buddy who then tossed them. There is another junk brand out there but I forget who it is at the moment, wait, Tula Ammo, just as bad if not worse.

this is a false and arrogant statement. A dirty round is no biggy unless your running a crap gun. Any quality gun should be able to run a few dirty rounds with no problems. If it saves money at the range and cycles in your run, shoot away. I know tons of people who use them with no problems at all. They are no where near as dirty as people make them out to be.

Tula is another that there is no problems with. Same with Wolf. They are cheap, not the most accurate(still acceptable from everything Iv shot them in) but for fun at the range they fit the bill perfectly.

I knew you would chime in against what I had to say.... like clock work

I guess I have a crap gun, as well as others, and others that post their reviews all over the net.

See there, you said IF, I said in my post above that this junk often jams, but it must be my junk gun, so I shoot a junk Kimber apparently.
 
The reviews of the ammo brands I listed online are all over overwhelmingly positive. I have seen reports of what VF said(iv had none) but not that many. Take from it what you will but you are reading into my post more than it was ment to be.

Apparently I always do. If I didnt Id have nothing to say.

Maybe the OP will post a good review of the shooting with this brand, maybe not, we shall see if he posts the results.

This makes me what to go out, buy Tula, Blazer and a name brand in .45, let them all loose and see what the results are in accuracy, jams, etc, of course I would be cleaning the gun after each box. :)
 
I did not mean to insult your gun or anyones. Badly worded on my part. I have done tons of research and find TONs of positive to few negative and the only real issues I find are its dirty. I find plenty of people saying it digested just fine in Kimbers as well.

I have found lots of ranges not letting you use it on their range. This has to do with them wanting your brass so they can make even more money off of you and not a potential safety problem. Much of the rumors of dirty ammo has to do with the steel used. Steel doesnt expand and seal the chamber as well as brass. There tons of rumors against these ammo companys and a majority are false.

Gun snobs (and by extension ammo snobs) annoy me. Its nothing against you personally, simply I spend alot of time on another forum(gun obviously) and the amount of snobbery/misinformation out there is mind boggling.
