The CCI 5220 Blazer Brass delivers consistent performance and reliable feeding in 40 S&W platforms with its 180-grain full metal jacket design. This reloadable brass-cased ammunition provides shooters with quality components at an accessible price point. Each cartridge features CCI's proven primer technology and clean-burning propellants for reduced fouling.
What Makes This Different
Unlike aluminum-cased training ammunition, Blazer Brass features reloadable brass cases that retain their value after firing. The 180-grain bullet weight represents the most popular loading for 40 S&W, providing optimal balance between velocity and energy transfer. CCI's quality control standards ensure consistent velocities within 50 fps across production runs, delivering predictable point of impact shot after shot.
