I just picked up some Blazer 9 mm at walmart for 8.97 a box of 50.
They are brass not aluminum cases.
I normally shoot WWB or remington UMC at the range.
 
I have never had a problem with it. The aluminum causes have been fine in .38spl except for the case mouth splitting ever so slightly.(it split less about a millimeter)

It was a little dirty too, but I go the ammo for free so I won't complain to much.
 
We don't buy it. Used to, and heaven knows it's cheaper than anything else out there, but I've never been impressed with it.

I've had no problem with either blazer or the blazer brass. It's actually some of the cleanest ammo I've used.
 
Blazer Brass is one of my favorites for range ammo. Sure seems less dirty than WWB. Never had a single hiccup with any of it out of 9mm, .40, or .45.
 
Never once had an issue with either blazer. I prefer Blazer aluminum in my local shoots, in fact. That way I don't feel bad about wasting brass. :D
 
I buy the .40 s&w works great, brass in great condition.

I DON'T buy the 9mm anymore since they kept putting defective rounds in the box, 2-3 at a time. Plus the bullets & brass were dirty, which is strange.

Shoots clean, accuracy is not so good.
 
It is what it is. Cheap range ammo.

True and I use the 9MM,40's and 45's and ive had no problem with any caliber bought.Figured id save the Corbon and Hornady in reserve for CC,and shoot the cheaper stuff,as it seems more economical to me.
 
I've never had a problem W/ it . My local WM seems to have a problem keeping it in stock so we must not be the only people that use it
 
I've shot this ammo in 9mm, .40 and .45 and never had an ammo-related problem. At Wal-Mart it is slightly cheaper (per 100 rounds, or two 50-round boxes) than the 100-round WWBs. I've also been shooting Blazer aluminum in different calibers for 20+ years. :)
 
50 rds through my XD9SC with no problems

(after 100 rds WWB 115g, 50 rds WWB 124g and 20 rds Gold Dot HP 147g)

I shot it last so the gun was already pretty dirty, so I can't verify those claims.
 
i use Blaser in preference to WWB because it is cleaner in my guns.

i've used the 9mm, .40 and .45

it is also the cheapest good defensive ammo in .44 spl...200gr JHP
 
I never had any problems from Blaser ammo. Everything I bought was aluminium, never saw any in brass. I had some CCI brass.
 
I've shot a lot of the Blazer aluminum, mostly with no problems.

I quit using it in 9mm Makarov because it seemed to setback very easily.
My CZ75B doesn't like it and stovepipes every so often when using it.

Other than that the results have been very good. Most of what I've shot is 9mm, but I've also shoot a good bit in 10mm, some in .357Mag and a little in .44Mag and .380ACP.

I find it to be more accurate than WWB.
 
I have used Blaser many times and only once did I have a problem.I tried it once in my old Ruger 44 mag carbine and it stuck in the chamber after firing the round.I was able to poke the empty out with a cleaning rod with no problem.So unless I want my carbine to be a single shot firearm,I use brass cartridges.
