Blazer Al ammo is perfectly safe. CCI would be sued out of business if it wasn't. It's not particularly good ammo though.
Al cases are not reloadable for the same reason steel is not reloadable. It's not suitably elastic like brass is.
Berdan primed cases are far too much work to be worth the effort. And that's if you can find the correct(no such thing as a Large/Small pistol or rifle Berdan primers) primer.
The RCBS Berdan decapper(actually a pries 'em out) is a $75 tool at Midway too.
