yes

 

Runs great in all 4 of my 1911's, different models. 5", 2-4", 4.25"and a 3.3" non 1911 sub compact...:rock:

 

Blazer Brass

Real good stuff. $259/1000 right now on some sites.

for 45 cal?

where?...PLEASE


shot a ton of the stuff.
Bullet setback can be a concern .
so don't chamber the same rnd more than twice before it goes downrange .
particularly if you have a "ker-Chunky" 1911.
No 1911 is particularly the smoothest feeding pistol in the world, but some 1911s and mag combos whack the bullet nose on the feed ramp harder than others

But it's good ammo, and one the more cleaner ones ...the brass Blazer that is..not the aluminum case Blazer, which I find to be one of the dirty shooting ammo...right there with Fed AE and the Russian stuff


..L.T.A.

 

Price is good right now on it. I'd buy some (more) if I didn't have a ton already. Good ammo. Lawman is $299/1000 as well if you must have large primer cases out of preference, or for reloading. Buy now before the prices on cases of it are in the $400's at election time.

 

Thanks to everyone! You told me what I wanted to hear.

Again Thanks,

Mark

 

Good stuff, it does use small pistol primers though, if you save brass for reloading.

 

It's been a good six years or so, but I took a case of Blazer Brass .45 to a class at Southern Exposure (in Florida), and had a host of problems with bullets retreating into the cases on recoil, causing failures to feed. I had plenty of spare ammo (Blazer aluminum case) to finish the class with, and Federal sent me a case of new aluminum case ammo as compensation for the problems I had with the brass cased rounds.

There were at least two other people in the class who had previous similar problems with Blazer Brass in .45. I've probably shot 5,000+ rounds of it in 9mm without a hitch.

Federal may well have solved the problem with tighter sizing and/or crimps on its Blazer Brass rounds by now. But I haven't used a round of it since that class, preferring Blazer aluminum case or Sellier & Bellot, neither of which have ever caused me a problem in training, practice, or competition. YMMV, of course.

 

I've seen this with Blazer Brass in the past, too. Like Bulldog Six, I've never had an issue with either Blazer Aluminum or S&B in 45 ACP. I believe Federal Champion is now the same as Blazer Brass, with a different head stamp.

My experience with Blazer Brass is not recent; it sounds like this issue has been addressed.

 

Thousands of rounds fired without an issue.

 

Definitely DON"T chamber a round more than twice.

 

This is my go to for range day. Decent price for solid ammo. Never had a problem and they seem, to me anyway, very consistent in quality. But everyone's gun is different.

Slice

 

Current production is fine with the only skunk in the works being the small primer.

 

One of these days I'll have to dig into the back of my ammo storage cabinet. I'm pretty sure I still have a few hundred rounds of Blazer Brass from years ago when it was still large primer. Last box I pulled out still had the price on it...$10.97 per box of 50.

 

Blazer Brass used to be LPP but no longer it seems. I have quite a bit that I bought in 2007 and it is LPP. I'm not sure when the change was made.

 

Just an FYI to the O.P., It is Blazer Brass "FMJ". Round nose usually refers to cast lead projectiles.

And yes, it is good ammunition. And the brass is good for reloading.

 

Stupid question, but for your average shooter buying Blazer Brass 45ACP 230gr ammo for range practice, who doesn't reload, what is the practical difference between SPP and LPP ammunition? More recoil, harder primer, bigger boom, etc...?
Thanks in advance. My question leads to... buy 1000/Blazer for $259 or 1000/Lawman for $299? Would I know the difference?

 

You won't notice any difference...go for the Blazer. I think it's pretty well settled that there's no significant change in ballistics. If you sell your spent brass, just make sure that it's noted as small primer and don't mix it with large primer cases to keep everyone happy.

 

Good range ammo at a good price.
I wish CCI/Speer hadn't changed the primer size (reloading issue) but the brass is still GTG.

 

That's what I thought, but it never hurts to ask. Thanks much.

 

Bullet setback from chambering a round more than one time is a problem for all of the manufacturers, across the board. It is the result of sloppy quality control in mass production. One batch may setback and the next batch will not. If you handload it is very easy to build ammo that will NOT setback. If you must use factory ammo NEVER chamber a round more than once. It can be a very expensive mistake.

 

Great range ammo, check target sports , just picked up 1000/$300, shipped. Came fed ex in two days.

 

FYI... looks like sgammo has a few 1000rd cases of Blazer Brass 230gr in stock again @ $259 + $25 shipping = $284.

 

Thank you for that!
I bought 1K last night. Added a couple bucks for insurance.

 

Hate to sound like an echo, but no problems here in years of firing Blazer Brass. I do not use it for a carry load, so rechambering is not an issue with me.

 

Shot several cases of it, no troubles of any kind.
If you can find it at a good price, by all means get it.

 

It's curious, this small primer thing. If someone want to spent the extra on brass cases, it stands to reason that reloading is a consideration, so it would also stand to reason the buyer would want uniformity in primer size. Now LPP have been used in .45ACP for a long time, LPP are soo common as to be universal. So why would Blazer Brass come with SPP?
I don't get it.
That said, I probably should lay aside some SPP 45ACP brass in case of any LPP shortages in the future.
I just don't understand the Blazer Brass decision to load SPP.

 

Just ran two boxes of 50 this week, good to go. last week 17.99 a box, tomorrow Black Friday $15.99.

 

Well, the cheap ammo appears to have run it's course. SG had this stuff for $259 for a few months, selling out every 4-5 days or so it seemed. This last time it came back, it was $299. Hope everyone who wanted some got in. Lawman went from $299 to $339. It was nice while it lasted! Still better than the ~$399 it will likely go for come Fall 2016.

 

I've used it and works fine. Great price at Dick's last week for the ammo can.
