Have you weighed the difference on a digital scale to check the difference between a brass and an aluminum casing? If so what was the weight difference?
I'm curious, are there any reloaders out there who have a digital scale that could give us a weight comparison between a standard brass case loaded with a 230gr fmj and a blazer 230gr fmj?
Also, it was a single occurance, not enough to warrant a magazine spring replacement or omething to indicate a faulty magazine or ammo type. It was just an observance of a single round. The mag used was a Mc Cormick 8rd mag with appox 700 rounds though it. I even shot a few mags full of S&B afterwards with no malfunctions.
Not trying to bash Blazer, because it is good practice ammo, but I will state that it performed poorly in my Kimber. I would venture to say that it performed about the same as PMC ammo. If it had a bit less flash I would definitely want to use it with my handgun indoors. S&B had no flash that was detectable from my handgun or the G30 I used to shoot.
Good Shooting
