I bought 2 boxes of 50 .380 for $8 each yesterday.

Just for shooting holes in paper.

The 9mm behaves oddly in my LCR9. The cases expand oddly making the hard to eject. Looks like blow back around the cases of burnt powder. Work fine in my auto loaders.

I've shot Blazer aluminum in multiple calibers, but not 380.  Left the cases there.

Blazer Brass can be reloaded, just like any other brass (if it's not damaged).  (I'd take that brass home)

I've shot, reloaded and re-shot many hundred rounds of Blazer Brass in .40 and .45, no problems with it for me...

No problems shooting it but always left a lot of powder on hands and gun.

Heavy powder residue on the brass is a sign of insufficent chamber pressure to seal the brass against the barrel when fired.

Also could indicate oversize chamber, under size brass, oversize barrel for bullet diameter, under size bullet for barrel diameter, light powder charge, poor ignition, etc.

Ie low pressure.

I buy it by the case at targetammo.com. A case of 9mm is $199.00 and shipping is free.

Some of the best pricing online is freedom munitions. Even their re manufactured ammo is good. Never a problem.
