40 SW – 165 gr FMJ – Blazer Brass (5210) – 1000 Rounds

Blazer Brass 5210 is CCI’s 165 grain 40 S&W practice round, a little faster and flatter shooting than the 180 grain version. This listing is CCI Blazer Brass 40 S&W 165 grain full metal jacket ammo, MPN 5210, sold as a 1,000 round case.

CCI rates this load at 1,050 fps with 404 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. That is a lively load for the 40, and it cycles slides firmly in full-size and compact pistols alike. The 165 grain bullet weight matches many 165 grain duty hollow points, so officers and carriers who use that weight can practice with similar recoil and point of impact. A full metal jacket bullet does not expand, so this is ammunition for practice, qualification, steel, and competition rather than defense or hunting.

This ammunition fits pistols and carbines chambered in 40 S&W, including the Glock 22, 23, 27, and 35, Smith and Wesson M&P40, M&P40 Shield, and SD40, SIG P226, P229, and P320, Springfield XD and XD-M, Heckler and Koch P30 and USP in 40, Beretta PX4 Storm, and the Beretta CX4 Storm carbine. A common question is whether 165 or 180 grain is better for practice. Both work well; choose the weight that matches your duty or carry load. Another common question is whether Blazer Brass ammo is new or remanufactured. It is new production ammunition loaded by CCI with reloadable boxer-primed brass.

Blazer Brass 5210 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA by CCI in Lewiston, Idaho. Each round is non-corrosive and uses a reloadable brass case. This case comes in factory packaging as 20 boxes of 50 rounds for a total of 1,000 rounds of 40 S&W 165 grain FMJ. Buying by the case keeps you on one production lot, so your pistol sees consistent ammunition from box to box.
