Deep Dive

Overview

This 40 S&W ammo is intended for target shooting and training with 40 S&W pistols in both indoor and outdoor ranges. A 180 grain bullet is a common weight for 40 S&W, making it a practical choice for routine drills and practice sessions. The total metal jacket design fully encloses the core to reduce exposed lead during handling. Lead-free primers further reduce lead exposure at the firing line, which can be especially relevant in indoor range environments.

History and Development

Blazer Brass is known for target shooting ammunition built around reloadable brass cases and consistent production standards. The line is commonly associated with clean-burning powders and CCI primers to support reliable ignition. Blazer ammunition is made in the United States to SAAMI specifications for common handgun calibers. Its role is delivering dependable range performance at a practical cost for frequent shooters. The Clean-Fire configuration adds lead-free primers and a fully jacketed bullet style to reduce lead exposure during training use.
