Anybody reload "Blazer Brass" cases?

[TAROMAN]

Wondering if the cases from "Blazer Brass" are suitable for reloading or if they're one-use items like the aluminum stuff?
Always just toss them into the scrap box.

My 357 Magnums Blazer Brass cases have several reloads on them.

Ive got some 45acp blazer brass Ive reloaded who knows how many times

It's the exact same brass as used in the Speer Lawman ammo with the head stamp being the only difference. Run some across a scale sometime and you'll be able to confirm that pretty quickly because Blazer and Speer cases weigh the same.

If it's brass I reload it. Have a lot of Blazer in several calibers. It works.

The bulk of my pre-fired 9mm and 45ACP brass was Blazer brass from the factory ammo I bought. It's as good as or better than any other factory pistol brass.

The only thing to watch out for is Blazer Brass in 45ACP is SMALL primer. Which, to me, is great - never have to change primer sizes 223, 9mm, 45acp, and 380.

I reload Blazer (or any other kind) of brass. Works fine

I reload the Blazer Brass in .40, .45 ACP and 9mm. I have some that has been loaded at least 4 or 5 times with no problems and I sure have a lot of life left. So far it's my favorite brass to reload.

I purchased bulk Blazer ammo, and saved the brass, which I now reload. I've heard from some that it could not be reloaded. I've not had a problem with them.

I have reloaded thousands of blazer in 9mm and 40 S&W. If it's brass, kick ***. If it's steel, no deal.

 

[Pocketfisherman]

I have a bunch of Blazer brass in my practice ammo bucket. No problems with it, as good as any other common ACP brass.

Check Blazer 45 ACP as it may be Small Primer. Not that it matters but can mess things up if you are set up with Large primers

 

[bedbugbilly]

I've had it mixed in with batches of "range brass" that I've purchased for reloading - 9mm, 38 spl. etc. - never had a problem with it.

Brass Blazer cases are as good as most other brands of bullet cases. You can't tell the difference when you shoot them. I reloaded some this week.

 

[ArchAngelCD]

Blazer Brass = Speer = CCI = same company.
They are perfectly good for reloading and IMO high quality.

 

[mikld]

I got two kinds of Blazer brass for my 45 ACP, small and large primed. I just sort them by primer size and reload them both...

 

[Schnizel_fritz]

I have reloaded blazer brass without any problems.

 

[Bkreutz]

I reload around 1000 rounds a week, I use whatever brass I collect at the range (I separate out nickel plated). I haven't noticed any higher incidence of case splitting with Blazer. In fact I don't recall ever seeing any split Blazer's, mostly Federal for some reason.

If it's aluminum....

I have reloaded thousands of blazer in 9mm and 40 S&W. If it's brass, kick ***. If it's steel, no deal.

If it's aluminum, don't even consider 'em.

 

[Freischütz]

I've reloaded the small primered 45 ACP cases. They are alright but case life is shorter than Federal, R-P, or W-W.

I've also reloaded CCI aluminum 45 ACP cases. Again they are ok, but case life is very short.
