Default OBVIOUSLY I'm still new at this...

Just an FYI, yesterday i was as WM and saw what i THOUGHT were my usual Federal Champions for under $19 for a 100 bx. (usually 4 bucks more). I grabbed a box drove home and didn't give it a second look UNTIL this morning i get to the range and see the word ALUMINUM on the box. I said what the heck and went through the box.

Honestly can't say i felt or saw anything different. Any reasons why i shouldn't buy these again? I mean that's a deal i think.

If you're not reloading and you don't have feed problems through your semi autos with it, then shoot away.

I don't buy it because I can't reload. But when I did shoot aluminum cased ammo I didnt have any issues with it.

I agree, there is nothing wrong with shotting that ammo. Save money and shoot more, good stuff...

You can't (or more correctly, you shouldn't) reload aluminum cases.

Some of my autoloaders despise aluminum cased ammo.
So, I don't buy it.

Blazer Aluminum feed fine in everything except for my Walthers. Neither my PPS or PPQ will extract them. Glocks, Smiths, Berettas swallow them up just like brass.
