Strange Blazer Ammo

[bigred0383]

I am guessing this is the closest to the appropriate forum for my question, if not, please move it to where it should be.

I did some trading this weekend, and in the deal ended up with some ammo. One of the boxes is from blazer, and is aluminum cased, but loaded with speer gold dots. The guy who gave it to me SWORE it was factory loaded.

I have never heard of this combo before. Is this stuff legit, or is it somebodys strange frankenload?

Thanks!

They are legit,..I have actually used some in my Ruger SBH. Not bad ammo,..not reloadable of course,....

Blazer is speer as far as I always thought.

it is fairly good ammo. i did use a lot of their brass until i found out it had small primer's instead of large primer's for .45 acp.

Aluminum-cased Blazer 200gr GDHP is the factory load of choice in my .44 Specials.

I know they are both speer and blazer are owned by ATK, but I still thought it was strange.

Thanks for the info!
