CCI Blazer 40 Cal 165gr FMJ – Reliable Aluminum Case Range Ammo, 1100 fps, 50 Rounds

Description

The CCI Blazer 40 Cal 165gr FMJ load gives .40 S&W shooters an affordable, dependable way to spend more time at the range. CCI loads a 165 grain full metal jacket bullet at a rated 1100 feet per second in a lightweight aluminum case, which keeps the cost per round down without giving up the consistent ignition CCI is known for. The 165 grain bullet sits in the middle of the .40 S&W weight range, giving a flatter, faster feel than 180 grain loads while keeping recoil manageable.

• 165 grain full metal jacket bullet
• Rated 1100 fps muzzle velocity
• Economical aluminum cases lower the cost per round

Blazer Aluminum Ammo Features

• Aluminum cases are lighter than brass and cost less to produce
• Clean-burning propellant helps reduce fouling
• No brass to chase: spent cases can simply be recycled
• Made in Lewiston, Idaho by CCI

A good .40 S&W training session mixes slow-fire accuracy work with faster strings to build recoil control. Keep a firm two-handed grip, and clean your pistol after each trip to keep it running reliably.

CCI has built ammunition and primers in Lewiston, Idaho since the 1950s, and the Blazer line was created to give shooters dependable practice ammunition at a fair price. Blazer aluminum ammo takes that idea further by replacing the brass case with aluminum, which is lighter and less expensive to produce. The result is a load that performs consistently box after box while keeping the cost of regular range trips down.

Aluminum-cased ammunition works in the same firearms as brass-cased loads of the same caliber. The cases use a primer system that cannot be reloaded, so collect your empties for recycling rather than reloading. Store the box in a cool, dry place for consistent performance.

The .40 S&W was developed as a middle ground between the 9mm and the .45 ACP, offering a larger bullet in a pistol that fits a standard-size frame. It remains a popular choice for duty and home defense, and good practice ammunition keeps shooters proficient with its sharper recoil. Stocking a few boxes of this load makes it easy to keep a regular training schedule.

Because aluminum cases cannot be reloaded, there is no need to chase brass after each string, which makes range cleanup faster. Store the box in a cool, dry place and keep it apart from your carry ammunition.

Why Choose 165 Grain 40 Cal Ammo

Many .40 S&W defensive loads use a 165 grain bullet, so practicing with the same weight keeps your recoil feel and point of impact consistent. This 165 grain 40 cal ammo is a smart choice for shooters who want range time that translates directly to their carry gun.

At a rated 1100 fps, the load shoots flat at typical handgun distances and delivers crisp, consistent recoil that helps you work on follow-up shots. The full metal jacket bullet feeds smoothly in full-size and compact .40 caliber pistols.

Full metal jacket bullets are designed for practice and target work, not expansion. Pair this load with a quality hollow point for personal protection.

Law enforcement officers, competitive shooters and anyone who wants affordable 40 cal aluminum ammo for practice will get dependable service from this 50-round box. Always confirm your firearm is chambered for .40 S&W, wear eye and ear protection, and follow all federal, state and local laws.
