Details
The Blazer Brass line of product is manufactured by CCI, an established American manufacturer owned by ATK.
Video Transcript:
Blazer ammo from CCI is intended for inexpensive range and target use, and is available with either an aluminum or brass case. Both types are great for the range, but if you reload or have any guns prone to reliability issues, then Blazer Brass is the better option. All Blazer ammo is made at the same facility in Idaho where Spear, Gold Dot and other high quality CCI products are produced.
For this review, we shot a couple of boxes of Blazer Brass 180 grain in a 40 Smith & Wesson. Accuracy was not bad for a budget range ammo. You can see that from our ten shot group that we fired from the bench at 15 yards, using a Sig P226.
The ammo ran great through all of our test guns, and we got so bored waiting for a malfunction to happen, we had to execute a few evil ginger ale cans that had invaded the shooting range.
As you can see, the Blazer Brass ammo was more than adequate for this task. The shells from Blazer Brass have typically worked really well on my reloading press, and on top of that it's reasonably accurate and very dependable.
For those reasons, I have no problem recommending Blazer Brass for any range or training application.

Shipped in 2 days, well packaged and exactly what I ordered. Never purchased online before, but will certainly buy from LG again. (Posted on 2/15/13)Quality Performance Value - Great Range Ammo but very dirty Review by BG

Great range ammo at a great price. But I find this brand is very dirty. Gun was nasty after about 150 rounds. (Posted on 2/6/13)Quality Performance Value - Shoots fine, but... Review by TheOne
-
Dirty as hell. I've only ever seen a gun this dirty after 50 rounds after shooting wolf. Prepare to clean. Other than that it shoots straight gives decent groups. I will likely keep looking for a different bulk ammo for now though. (Posted on 1/25/13)Quality Performance Value - my favorite Review by tyler witter

This is my favorite place to buy ammo. That being said my Glock 23 loves this ammo as well never had one problem with this ammo. I've used quite a bit and I tack drive at 10-15 yards and I group about a baseball at 25 yards. Great ammo accurate and not as dirty.

Great ammo! 1 jam with my .40 M&P c. Will buy them again. Lucky Gunner shipped next day, un like the competition who ships whenever they feel like it. Get your 5.56 prices down and I buy more from you. (Posted on 10/17/12)Performance Value Quality - Great ammo & great service Review by John

I have shot several hundred rounds of this ammo and had 0 problems in my Glock 23. As always, LuckyGunner has great prices, great service and easy to use website. (Posted on 10/12/12)Performance Value Quality - Good competition ammo Review by Mark
-
The price and reliability of this ammo makes it great for competitions. I have shot seven Steel matches with it and have had zero problems! My Glock loves it, and it is clean. Some have mentioned it is dirty, but I have not experienced that. The very expensive ammo we use for our duty guns is far dirtier than this.

This is great ammo. I put over 700 rounds down range in my xdm 40. For the price this is great ammo. LG is my one stop shop for ammo, always great service and fast shipping.

200 rounds through a 40 cal M&P. No jams. Pretty dirty so far. Other than being on the dirty side it is good range ammo. (Posted on 10/27/11)Performance Value Quality - Cheap and Reliable! Review by Bulls-i
-
I have literally shot thousands of rounds of this ammo and never had a single problem - ever.Value Quality Performance
If this ammo jams in your gun - buy a new gun!
The same applies for Speer Lawman & Federal American Eagle though - both are top notch (and I think made by the same parent company?) (Posted on 11/15/09)
