Aluminum case 9mm

[Grizzlypeg]

Having had a bad experience with steel cased 9mm ammo, can anyone tell me if there are any problems with aluminum based 9mm ammo?

Ive used it a few times in the past, and its always worked. I never noticed any difference using it. But I prefer using brass cased ammo whenever I can.

I haven't used a bunch of aluminum cased ammo but the few hundred rounds I have used in pistols have worked perfectly fine. Be aware though if you plan on using it in a PCC that most manufacturers do not recommend it be used in them.

I have used aluminum cases before and I can't tell any difference. Once hand gun actually preferred aluminum. It fed better.

I always just buy what is cheapest

No experience with aluminum cased, but my glock and M&P don’t mind the cheap Barnaul “lacquered steel case” 9mm

My Famae mini SAF hated it.... the gun ran everything else fine, but had lots of malfunctions with the aluminum stuff. That being said, it ran just fine in my Glocks.

This happened to me when using a semi carbine. Will never buy aluminum again. Top round somewhat out of battery and the round below in the magazine somehow ended up with that hole in it. I had no issues in pistols so they should be fine in those, but do not use them in Semi Auto Carbines.

I reloaded some once fired aluminum cases CCI brand. After first firing some primer pockets were oversized and could not keep primers in place. So only one reload is possible.
Otherwise its not a substitute for brass. However its easier on the action than steel.

My experience with Federal 115gr FMJ RN aluminum is that it works perfectly fine. P320.

Can't speak for 9mm but have fired many thousnands of CCI aluminum cased ammo out of my Glocks, no problems at all.

I prefer the brass I had some issues with the aluminum in my press

with the over supply of brass 9mm cases in the country why use aluminum as one bad round can cause big damage to a rather expensive gun. just because the ammo is cheaper does not mean it is better. I reload nothing but brass for my shooting need.

My 9 mm norinco tokarev works the best with the cci alumnium blazers

I have never bought aluminum cased ammo. But I have reloaded it. I save the aluminum cases and when i get enough I load them up with a moderate load. They are handy to have for those occasions when the cases will be lost. Deep snow.

Not great in my PCC. I prefer brass for a bit more money.

Order from tenda if you buy 2K rounds it’s free shipping 230$ and you get good reliable brass case ammo

There just isn't enough savings for aluminum over brass to make it significant. I don't reload 9mm, its cheap enough when bought by the 1000, but I don't want function problems either. I learned my lesson when I bought US Forged steel case 9mm. Extraction problems galore.

My experience with CCI Aluminum 9mm:
Quite a bit of FTF in handguns with weak recoil springs (old guns), while brass case ammo works fine.

For newer and more reliable guns (say Glock) they seem to work 100%.
