I've shot Blazer brass against aluminum in Glock 17, Glock 26, Sig P6, Sig P226 X-5 Tactical, and Wilson Combat Protector. In all pistols the aluminum cased ammo performed at least equal in accuracy to the brass cased ammo. I have the most mileage with the Glock 17, and I feel the aluminum ammo is a little more accurate -- in both the stock Glock barrel and the upgraded Wilson Combat barrel. This is all from off-hand shooting, including multi-gun competition. I saw no cycling issues with either ammo.

I've shot 115 Blazer aluminum and brass in my Wilson Combat AR9G -- 8" barrel, bipod & rear bag, 1-4x Vortex Viper, from prone. I use a 35-yard zero, FWIW.

5-round groups at 35 yards, center-to-center spread:
- 115 grain brass -- 1.50", 2.12", 2.44"
- 115 grain aluminum -- 1.12", 1.25", 1.88"
- 147 grain aluminum -- .88", 1.31", 2.75"

10-round groups at 55 yards, center-to-center spread:
- 115 grain brass -- 3.25"
- 115 grain aluminum -- 1.75", 2.5"
- 147 grain aluminum -- 2.0", 2.75"

10-rounds at 100 yards, vertical variation only, due to shooting in some pretty high crosswinds:
- 115 grain brass -- 5.25"
- 115 grain aluminum -- 2.5"
- 147 grain aluminum -- 2.75"

My best accuracy with the AR9G was with Selliot & Bellot's FMJ ammo, but Blazer Aluminum was respectable.

I'll start buying when gets back to $170-200 a case.

I'm still reminiscing about the days MiWall Corporation sold their excellent reloads for $100.00/1,000 packed in a genuine surplus 30 caliber ammo can.

I purchased a ton of it, and other calibers also. Then I finally got off of my lazy butt and started back reloading.
