tomford693Inquiry on Blazer ammo
It seems all I can find for .357 JHP are Blazer brand ammo...actually Blazer and Blazer Brass. Is this ammo any good?

dking271357 Sig or 357 magnum? Blazer is decent practice ammo, not great for personal defense. What are you shooting it out of, and what is the intended purpose of the ammo?

SW_SigCCI Blazer does not produce .357 Sig ammo Suomi assume you are looking for .357 mag.
There is a lot out there. Check out AmoSeek.com.

joel9507If the question is, is Blazer good ammo, then I can say I have shot a lot of their 9mm, both aluminum and brass, as range ammo for years now, have had no issues and am very satisfied.

Expert308Agreed, both Blazer and Blazer Brass are fine reliable range ammo. I can't speak to the effectiveness of the .357 JHP as a SD load though, I never looked into it.

egregoreBlazer, whether aluminum- or brass-cased (.357
Magnum is most likely aluminum), in general, is good practice/plinking/"blastin'" ammo, but should be reserved for that purpose. I think I had somewhat sticky case extraction with it in one of my revolvers, but this was decades ago and I might be mis-remembering.
