Blazer brass - scrounging at the range

[daddylonglegs]

Took a drive out to our outdoor range today to check on snow/road conditions. I took along an empty 2 lb coffee can as I know most members of the local club are not reloaders. The firing line concrete floor was littered with empty brass! My take was 489 rounds 9mm, 254 rounds .45ACP, 4 rounds .303 British, 1 round .22-250 Rem, 5 rounds .223, 2 rounds .30-06, 3 rounds 8mm Mauser, and 1 lonely round of .38 S&W (not special). I can't believe how people can afford to shoot these volumes of pistol ammo without reloading. Anyway, alot of the .45ACP stuff was Blazer brass. Looks like normal brass (not those non-reloadable aluminum cases they used yrs ago). Anybody have experience reloading Blazer head-stamped brass? Is it still CCI's discount brand of ammo?

Yes Blazer(brass) is the economy level of CCI(if there is such a thing as economical when talking ammo). It loads just dandy(again brass, not the aluminum in case some noob is reading this), but be sure to check the case head/rim area as I have seen many with factory flaws.

Blazer still makes Aluminum cased ammo. That said the brass stuff loads just fine.

They LEFT 250 rnds of .45 laying on the range? Um, where did you say you shoot? I think i want to join! (sound of 5 gallon pail being dragged up the stairs)
