Herter's Aluminum FNJ any good?

[dawgfan76]

Is this stuff any good? Never tried it and I don't reload, so is it worth stocking up on? Cabelas has it on sale and I would appreciate any feedback on this product.

Cabela's: Herter's Select Grade TNJ .40 S&W Ammunition with Dry-Storage Box

Odd. Herters is Wolf ammo under a different name. Here its Herters Blazer. Im guessing Wolf contracted Blazer to make ammo for its Herters line. In that case youre looking at Blazer ammo.

Always worked fine for me

I bought some ammo a year back that was package something American that was produced by Blazer for my 38special. I will say this it was extremely clean and shot extremely well. I have also used just straight blazer 9mm and it has always been clean and of good quality.

Cabela's Herter's-brand is simply repackaged other makes that they buy in bulk. The aluminum cased stuff is Speer/CCI-Blazer ,

their brass cased is either Fiocchi or Sellier & Bellot , and their steel-cased military stuff is Wolf.

The Herters brand name is owned by Cabela's. When Cabela's introduced this brand of ammo, they started with ammo from Tula and Ulyanovsk of Russia (it's not "WOLF" made as this is strictly a brand name, not a manufacturer). They have since used ammo from PT.Pindad of Indoneasia (.380 only), Fiocchi of Italy and now Sellier & Bellot of the Czech Republic.

The new(ish) CCI Blazer TNJ ammo is made by CCI themselves here in the U.S.

This ^ the nylon jacket is nothing new. Its just a version of federals nyclads in round nose since federal and cci are owned by the same parent company.

You are correct. The Nyclad bullet goes back to the 1970's when Smith & Wesson first introduced it to the market. When the S&W ammo company went under, Federal Cartridge purchased the rights to the Nyclad product. But this is the first time that a Nyclad bullet has been loaded into the CCI Blazer aluminum case.
