Compare Blazer products

Blazer is the value-priced range ammunition brand made by CCI in Lewiston, Idaho. CCI created the line in the late 1970s and early 1980s to keep practice-ammunition costs down, and that remains its entire purpose: reliable, affordable centerfire ammo for high-volume shooting at the range. Because Blazer comes from CCI — part of The Kinetic Group under the Czechoslovak Group (CSG), alongside Federal and Speer — it is loaded with the same CCI primers that the parent brand is known for, which is a real advantage in budget ammunition where ignition reliability is often the weak point.

What they're known for

Blazer comes in two main forms that shooters should not confuse. Blazer Aluminum uses heat-treated aluminum cases instead of brass to cut cost; it is accurate and reliable for practice but is not reloadable (the cases are marked NR). It is offered in the common handgun calibers — 9mm Luger, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .38 Special, and .357 Magnum — typically with FMJ bullets. Blazer Brass uses reloadable brass cases and clean-burning propellants, making it the choice for shooters who want to save their brass for handloading; it covers 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and more. CCI also offers Blazer Clean-Fire, a non-toxic-priming line that reduces airborne lead and is well suited to indoor ranges, including a suppressor-friendly TMJ option.

On US-GUNDEALS

Blazer sits firmly in the budget tier — it is among the most economical ways to feed a 9mm, .40, or .45 at the range, and the CCI primers give it a reliability edge over many bargain brands. Because it is bought in bulk, comparison shopping matters. Blazer Aluminum and Blazer Brass are listed across the shops on US-GUNDEALS, so you can find the lowest current per-round price across multiple retailers.
