Hi Everyone,
I have a question about some Blazer .38 +P ammunition that I recently saw stacked on the floor at a local shop.
With ammo prices being what they are, I'm always looking for the best deals on .38 practice ammo and I knelt down to take a closer look (I've never used Blazer before, but am aware of its rather spotty reputation, so I was torn whether to buy any. The price was certainly attractive compared to WWB, and I don't reload, so the aluminum case isn't an issue).
Anyway, this ammo was regular Blazer, i.e., aluminum-cased, in 50-round boxes and was marked ".38 Special, +P, 125 grain TMJ".
Now, I just went to Blazer's website and that load is not listed. They have 2 .38 Special +P loadings listed: a 125 grain JHP and a 158 grain TMJ. But no 125 grain TMJ.
Can anybody help me out and tell me about this load?
Is it so new that Blazer hasn't updated the website yet to reflect its presence on the market?
Or has it been dropped from production recently, and was the lot that I saw the result of my dealer getting some kind of bargain on discontinued ammo?
And, also, does anybody have experience with this particular Blazer .38 loading?
