Indoor ranges with strict air quality rules often require lead-free primers and fully jacketed bullets, which is exactly what the CleanFire version of Blazer delivers. This listing is CCI Blazer CleanFire 45 ACP 230 grain Total Metal Jacket ammo, MPN 3480, sold as a 1,000 round case.
CleanFire pairs a Total Metal Jacket bullet, which has no exposed lead at the base, with a primer that contains no lead or other heavy metals. That combination greatly reduces lead exposure for shooters and range staff in enclosed spaces. The 230 grain weight is the classic 45 ACP ball weight with the familiar slow push in recoil. Blazer aluminum cases keep the cost down and are not designed for reloading. This is a training load, not a defensive round.
This ammunition fits pistols and carbines chambered in 45 ACP, also known as 45 Auto, including 1911 pistols from Colt, Springfield, Ruger, and Rock Island, the Glock 21, 30, and 41, the SIG P220, the HK USP45, the Smith and Wesson M&P45, the Springfield XD and XD-M, and the KRISS Vector. A common question is whether lead-free primers are less reliable. Modern lead-free primers from major makers are reliable in normal use, though storing any ammunition cool and dry is still important. Another common question is why choose aluminum over brass. Aluminum is lighter and less expensive, which suits shooters who do not reload.
Blazer CleanFire 3480 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA by CCI in Lewiston, Idaho. The aluminum cases are not reloadable, and the load is non-corrosive. This listing ships as 1,000 rounds of 45 ACP 230 grain TMJ. A thousand rounds from one lot covers months of indoor range practice with lower lead exposure. Store the case in a cool, dry place between sessions so the primers stay reliable.
