Unless I'm looking at something different, they're not similar at all. The one posted by PropHead had multiple targets on them and these seem to only be one bullseye.

You may be correct jtkratzer, but arent the ones I posted gridded for group sizing?

There are 4 quadrants, but there aren't specific dots/diamonds/squares/whatever to aim at, just the 4 quadrants created by the plus sign in the middle.

I bought a case of 45, 9 and 1/2 case of .357. Haven't had any problems except I got one dud in the 45 yesterday. "Pop" went the primer and "Plink" went the bullet when it dropped to the floor about 10' out.

Bought them because they were cheap, fairly accurate and mostly for the brass, but I'm not sure how they will stand up to multiple reloads with the flimsy looking inward curved bases. Maybe next time I'll spend the $15/case more for Federal if CCI's brass don't fair as well.

I went through another 150 rounds of Blazer yesterday with no problem.

I have had 2 jams with the blazer brass out of around 500 rounds using it. To me its been very accurate.

CCI/Blazer is made by Federal, no?

Ok guys im not being rude or telling anyone what they should or shouldnt use i just have a question???? I have never used blazer ammo in my 45 i used a box of it 1 time a long time ago in my 40 i use to have and if i remember correctly isnt that the ammo that is really dirty that makes your gun all shi**y???Again just a question not a slam on anyone unless of course i know you then it could be a slam lol!!!

I've been through a considerable amount of Blazer brass on my .45compact.
I've only had one stovepipe which I am pretty confident was my fault for riding the recoil.

Accuarcy has also never been a problem... I shoot like crap no matter what comes out the end of the barrel I am getting much better though.

BTW

is CCI/Blazer the same thing as CCI/Blazer Brass?

OR is it same bullet different packaging?

From what I have read, Blazer is cleaner than the winchester white box which is another popular range ammo.
