MaverickUF Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 What do ya'll know about the CCI Blazer ammo? Nantchez has a sale, I can get 2000rds SHIPPED for $320 ($70 less than 2000rds of whitebox winchesters from Wal-Mart... That's $6.90/50 before shipping... Is this stuff anygood? Consistent/Accurate? Will my Ruger like it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.E. Kelley Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Blazer (aluminum) 45 acp is good stuff, accurate and reliable. Blazer Brass cost a little more but can be reloaded when you are ready. Ruger should run with it just fine. PK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaverickUF Posted March 28, 2005 Author Share Posted March 28, 2005 Sweet, thanks a lot! I'm ordering some now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trey Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 www.outdoormarksman.com I've shot many k's of their miwall reloads in 9 and 40. Really killer price for the miwall factory reloads. I would suspect the 45 would work as well. Plus you get to start a brass collection as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folsoml Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I shoot .40 blazers at Major matches and they work great. Feed reliably and always pass chrono. Also, no heartburn about losing your brass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cking Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Wolf works fine also. Both blazer and Wolf are fairly hot so you will be shooting with power factor of around 180. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folsoml Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 18o grain blazers feel fine. They actually chrono in my Para at about 170. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzShooter Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Wolf works fine also. Both blazer and Wolf are fairly hot so you will be shooting with power factor of around 180. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Blazer is good ammo. Reliable and accurate. Wolf is steel cased. I've seen it cause lots of jams and I wouldn't want to use it in a match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPatterson Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 230Gr Blaser's went through my Colt with a PF of 192 at the Area 1 in Bend in the snow storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBTX01 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 I bought a couple of individual boxes of WOlf to test fire it out of my 1911. It worked great. At $120-130 per 1000 I can barely even reload that cheap and the reliablity is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folsoml Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I take back every nice thing I said about blazers. Today I shot a match with blazers and on the first stage, I had about 15 light primer hits. I got a lot of malfunction clearing practice today. Now, I do have a 17# mainspring in my Para instead of the factory 21# spring, but I've shot my own reloads and other factory ammo with no problem. I don't know if it was a bad lot or old ammo, but when I switched to Speer Lawman for the rest of the match, I had no trouble--with the same gun.

.40AET Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Now, I do have a 17# mainspring in my Para instead of the factory 21# spring It's not your gun....it's the ammo. I have run a 17# mainspring in 2 Para's and two S*I's and have never had a light hit. I've had some smashed primers that wouldn't go off, but it was never the gun.

folsoml Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I do blame the ammo. Speer TMJs worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPatterson Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 folsoml, Since the Blazers worked for you before maybe it was something different you did to the gun getting ready for the match. Was the gun lubed differently or not cleaned or cleaned & not lubed. I once took a beautiful working gun and turned it into a slug for the match by changing from Slide Glide to an STP/Mobil 1 mix. Too often we blame ammo when it is the gun deciding what it likes or doesn't like. I have a Wilson conversion on a 1911 that doesn't like Remington bulk but a Ruger 22/45 has no problem with it but doesn't like the Federal bulk that the Wilson likes.

folsoml Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Everything was the same. It was plenty dirty from a practice session earlier in the week, but no dirtier than it has been before. I goobed up with Slide Glide the night before, just like always. Nothing different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
