In the "get your ammo here" thread, Nipprdog posted about the availability of 9 mm in Aluminum casing. Does anyone have any experience with these? Really nice price!
I mentioned it in the "ammo here" thread as I picked up 10 boxes pf the Federal 9mm last week. I was supposed to test some out today but I didn't get a chance to get to the range.
So basically, nothing to report yet. I'm sure it will shoot fine in my Glock though.
I guess I should have asked if anyone had any experience shooting it, instead of buying it.
CCi has made aluminum cases for years. Blazers, in 357, 9mm, 44, 45 etc. were brought to market to offer a less expensive cartridge than the brass cased brother of same. I have shot a lot of them with good results. They are not a re-loadable case in aluminum. I think the brass CCI Blazers re-loadable though.
I have run plenty of the CCI aluminum cases in various calibers through my Glocks without issue. Have not seen the Federal aluminum cased, but as long as it is a decent savings I would have no issues buying/shooting it.
I found the Federal for $9.97 a box at Wally World. Even cheaper than Tula steel cased.
