Who Makes Blazer Brass 9mm 115gr FMJ Case

Blazer is a product line of CCI, which loads it in Lewiston, Idaho. CCI is best known for rimfire ammunition and primers, and the Blazer range was created to give shooters affordable centrefire practice ammunition. Blazer Brass adds new brass cases to the formula.

The 115 grain full metal jacket is the standard practice bullet for the 9mm. It is light, fast and inexpensive, and it closely matches the recoil and point of impact of many 115 and 124 grain defensive loads, which makes it a sensible training round.

Because the cases are brass cased and boxer primed with standard primer pockets, this is reloadable ammunition. If you handload, a 1000 round case is a good way to build a supply of consistent once-fired brass.

Specifications and Performance

CCI lists Blazer Brass 9mm 115gr FMJ Case at 1,145 fps at the muzzle, 1,058 fps at 50 yards and 994 fps at 100 yards. Those figures come from a test barrel, so a compact pistol will run a little slower and a pistol caliber carbine somewhat faster.

For most shooters, the real measure of range ammo is reliability and consistency. Blazer Brass is widely used in training classes and competition practice because it feeds reliably in the vast majority of modern 9mm pistols and produces predictable recoil from box to box.

Blazer Brass uses a clean-burning propellant and reliable CCI primers. In practice that means less fouling in your pistol over a long range day and very few duds, both of which matter when you are shooting hundreds of rounds at a time. Blazer Brass 9mm 115gr FMJ Case is a simple way to stock up on ammunition you can trust for training.

Field Notes

Buying bulk 9mm by the case lowers the cost per round and keeps you on the same lot for longer, which helps your zero and your training stay consistent. A case covers a two-day pistol class with spares, or several months of regular practice.

If you shoot a pistol caliber carbine, this load works well there too. The longer barrel adds velocity and the 115 grain bullet stays accurate at typical carbine distances. Many shooters use one case of Blazer Brass 9mm 115gr FMJ Case to feed both a pistol and a carbine.

Full metal jacket bullets are training projectiles. They do not expand, so they are not intended for self defence or hunting. Use a quality hollow point for carry, and practise with this ammunition between sessions with your carry load.

Some indoor ranges restrict certain ammunition. Brass cased FMJ like this is accepted at most ranges, but always check the rules first. Pick up your brass if you reload, and dispose of it responsibly if you do not.

A full case weighs over 25 pounds. Store it cool and dry, ideally in sealed ammo cans. Buyers must be at least 21 for handgun ammunition from a licensed dealer under federal law, and some states add extra rules.
