CCI
CCI Blazer Aluminum handgun ammunition in .40 S&W is built for shooters who want to stack rounds downrange without breaking the bank. The 165-grain full metal jacket rounds deliver the reliable, accurate performance you need for training and practice at the range, whether you're working on defensive fundamentals, competing, or simply logging trigger time. With a 1000-round count per case, this ammunition lets you shoot volume without the cost penalty of traditional brass-cased rounds.
The core of Blazer Aluminum's value proposition is its aircraft-grade aluminum case construction. These cases are heat-treated to withstand the pressures of the .40 S&W cartridge, providing the same level of containment and consistency you'd expect from quality ammunition. The cases are non-reloadable, which keeps manufacturing costs down and those savings flow to you. Paired with quality bullets and reliable primers, Blazer Aluminum performs like ammunition twice its price point.
A note on aluminum cases: they're not magnetic and function reliably in every firearm we've tested them in, but they won't work with the magnetic sorters at some ranges. If your regular training grounds use those systems, check first or bring Blazer Brass instead. For shooters with their own range or access to aluminum-friendly facilities, this is a no-brainer for high-volume practice and training.
| Cartridge | .40 S&W |
| Bullet Weight | 165 grains |
| Bullet Type | Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) |
| Muzzle Velocity | 1100 fps |
| Case Material | Aluminum (heat-treated, aircraft-grade) |
| Quantity | 1000 rounds |
| Brand | CCI |
No. Blazer Aluminum cases are designed as single-use, non-reloadable cases. The cost savings are tied to a straightforward production model that doesn't accommodate reloading.
Yes. Blazer Aluminum .40 S&W ammunition is safe and reliable in any .40 S&W firearm. However, note that the cases are non-magnetic, so they won't work with the automated sorters some indoor ranges use. Check your range's policy before you go.
The 1100 fps velocity listed is the standard for this load. It's suitable for training, range work, and practice. If you have specific velocity needs for your application, compare with other CCI offerings or consult the manufacturer's documentation for your firearm.
The primary difference is the case material. Aluminum cases cost less to produce and are non-reloadable, while brass cases are reloadable and compatible with all ranges. Both deliver reliable performance; the choice depends on your budget and whether your range accepts aluminum cases.
