CCI 3542 Blazer 357 Magnum 158gr JHP Ammo - 50 Rounds

The CCI 3542 Blazer delivers reliable expansion and consistent accuracy for 357 Magnum applications requiring proven hollow point performance. This aluminum-cased ammunition combines CCI's quality control standards with cost-effective construction for high-volume shooting.

What Makes This Different

Blazer ammunition features lightweight aluminum cases that reduce overall weight by 40% compared to brass-cased alternatives. The 158-grain jacketed hollow point projectile expands reliably at 357 Magnum velocities while maintaining structural integrity. CCI's non-corrosive Boxer primers ensure consistent ignition across temperature ranges from -20°F to 150°F.
