RE: Aluminum bullet cassings
shot those brass cased blazer 45 acp's today, guess what.... They are centerfire and totally reloadable. they are in my next batch of brass to be tumbled I will soon find out how they do as reloaded ammo. My guess would be the CCI brass cases are speer cases with a CCI headstamp.
They were very clean burning and were also very inexpensive, asfar as factory pistol ammo goes im gonna continue to buy these.

RE: Aluminum bullet cassings
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.

Charley- they can make the cases as idiot proof as possible, but we all know that the world will soon enough come up with a bigger idiot to defeat it.
The anvil built into the casings probably could be peened back out with a punch and some patience.
If the Blazer primer is larger than a standard berdan, one could carefully patch an undersized primer with paper or perhaps strips cut from a beer can. If the primer they use is smaller than the standard berdan, one could drill out the primer pockets to make the new primers fit.
If I could borrow someone else's gun to try the loads out in, I'm betting that I could make some reloads that will fire.
Fortunately, this idiot doesn't have enough time on his hands to screw around with something like that when I have a bucket of real brass to work with[:-]
