Blazer ammo?
I was at wallymart tonight to get some 45acp. I asked the counter clerk for some blazer brass 45. $11 for 50 seemed pretty good compared to wwb or umc. So I asked the clerk for all the boxes. There were like 10 boxes available. Then he said I need to be careful with this ammo because it's reloaded ammo, and that it leaves a heavy and dirty residue. 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.

Blazer brass is Factory ammunition. It is NOT reloaded stuff.
You CAN use the brass for RELOADING, if you so choose to. It is completely fine. Matt |

I actually find CCI Blazer and Blazer Brass to be CLEANER shooting than WWB or UMC. I've run a few thousand rounds of each, and I prefer to shoot Blazer in some form or another. Recently the local prices on WWB have just been too good to pass-up, though.

I reload the Blazer Brass, good stuff and right now at 9.97 & 10.97 for a box of 50 of .40's and .45's. That's the best deal going for reloadable ammo. It's actually a better price then the WWB.
Go back and see if you can buy the rest that you left behind.

Blazer Brass = good, clean, NEW ammo. It's not reloaded. Wal-mart employees aren't the most reliable source of balistics information.

Thank you all for clarifying my question. I'm going to go back today to swipe up the last 6 boxes they have behind the glass. The clerk said if I wanted more he can order them by the case for me. Pretty sad the excitement I get going to the store to get ammo at good prices.
