Blazer ammo?

[XD9BT]

Bought BB in 9s and 45s I also bought some WWB. Had no problems with the BB but had 1 jam with the 9 WWB yesterday. This was probably due to breaking in my new XDSC9. BB are a lot cleaner than the WWB IMO. Less residue to clean off after the range.

The BB I bought seemed to have a light, streaky, coating of copper, almost like it was copper "washed". The WWB seemed to have a more consistent, thicker coating of copper. If it even matters! Both of the were FMJ loads.

So I hesitated and asked for only 4 boxes. But in my readings in this forum, the consensus most people have of blazer brass is that it's pretty good target ammo compared to wwb and umc. So I was a bit puzzled as I walked out of wallymart. And to my question... Is this ammo really reloaded? I suspect the clerk was talking out of his gluteous maximus.

Sounds like a familiar experience I've had at least once a week when I go to Wal-Mart. One time, I asked this lady where to find something and she directed me over to this area on the other side of the store and when I got over there - guess what!?! Yep, you're right - it was over on the opposite side of the store.

The main sad part of that story is, the lady who sent me in the wrong direction had this sticker on her name tag that said, "Serving for 15 years!"

You will be fine - however, there are some cheaper sources out there for ammo, so keep your eyes open and do your homework and you'll be amazed.

Good Luck on your next buy-out at Wal-Mart!

Around here i can find .40 BB for 7.57 a box....... yea so i buy all they have.... go shoot it and then pick it up and reload it for even cheaper...

As a matter of fact its hard to find brass for much less than that...

I was reading about the ammo, and my question is... For example the Blazer ammo has a 9mm in 115 & 124 wt (grs). What does this information mean? Any which should i go for. My purpose for my gun is target. Thanks!

Whichever is cheapest! (Assuming it works reliably in your gun)
