your first sentence i agree with but the rest of your babbling I beg to differ.......... I have sucessfully reloaded 38 specials with these blazer cases I dont make a habit of it but just wanted to see if could be done. the 38 special primers were standard sized small pistol primers and the cases were also boxer primed not berdan primed, where i did run into problems was resizing and the cases split upon firing. so i wouldnt recommend reloading this stuff but it can be done.
Babbling, huh? I tore one down last night. I'll post my pictures of the process showing the Berdan priming, and the intregel anvil. CCI has made changes over the years, but when they first entered the market, they did have a non-standard primer. Current .45 ACP cases do have .210 primers. Don't know about .38 specials. I don't buy aluminum cased Blazers, I've got 5000 .45 ACP cases in brass. I did have some Blazers I took in trade. Why bother with something that will give poor results?
