Blazer brass

[bogie]

It has been suggested to me that Blazer brass (9mm in particular) may be inclined to collapse when being reloaded. Anyone run into this? Never heard of it myself and probably have a pile waiting to go thru the turret press soon. Any 9mm cases I have handled look to be fairly thick and considering the short length of the cases I would be surprised if any of them were going to be a problem to reload.
FYI I recycle the brass for a large club and I see a LOT of 9mm and sell several hundred pounds of it a year.

i may have had one or 2 cases (don't remember which brand) that got crushed being off center to the die. other then that i haven't had a case crush/collapse while reloading it.

i certainly wouldn't worry about it, if it collapses toss it and move on.

I have some Blazer brass cases in .38 that have been reloaded over 20 times without issues.

Phew... Thank god... I just ordered 500 rounds of it from Canada Ammo with the intension of reloading the brass once it is gone.

The .45acp Blazers I have are just fine.

I reload 9mm and .45 ACP with Blazers brass, they just work fine.
I have noticed that the primer go in smoother that all the other brand.
The brass is good quality, easy to clean. Shinny.
