Brass and Aluminum?

Trip20 · April 8, 2005, 04:44 PM

Question about those CCI Blazers... I bought 50 in .45acp but I had a choice between the aluminum cased or brass cased (same specs other than casing) and I chose the brass but it was a few bucks more expensive.

Is there any point in me using the brass over the aluminum if I don't reload? As in, aluminum is worse for internals than brass?...etc.

Thanks.

The aluminum cased Blazers are just fine, and usually quite accurate. Since you dont reload, save yourself a few bucks and go alloy.

Thanks for the response Joe.

I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum (assuming this is why I didn't get any responses), but I figured reloaders would be able to answer this question...
