The aluminum cased CCI is a one time fire as is steel cased ammo. I have not heard of anyone reloading any of the above, I think the warnings, "Do not Reload", have worked.

While it might look like it's boxer primed it's not. That is the punch mark from when the anvil for the berdan primer was made. Look very close at the inside and you will see the two small flash holes for the berdan primer. hth

The new production CCI Blazer ammunition is Boxer primed. I have a friend who has reloaded some .45 ACP cases 5 times with no signs of damage to the cases. I wouldn't do it myself, but Richard likes to recycle anything he can!

CCI does make Blazer in Brass with boxer primers that are reloadable. There is no way possible to load the aluminum cases due to primer differences. They were made that way just so no one would attempt to reload them.

Yes CCI is now calling some of there brass cased ammo Blazer but the original post was about aluminum cases which would not be boxer primed.

Yes Mr. McAskill, I realise that fact as I answered his first post! The poster who indicated one of his friends have reloaded 45 ACP 5 times without a hitch, doesn't realize that his friend is reloading brass, not aluminum cases.

Any aluminum cases I've seen at the range were berdan primed.

Mr. Anthony, I was answering Bilbo's post sir and not yours. I do disagree with you on no one reloading them as it's just human nature to disregard warnings to life and limb and I am sure someone somewhere has or will try to reload them. lol

"...due to primer differences..." It's more that Al isn't elastic like brass. Neither are steel cases.
"...I am sure someone somewhere has or will try to reload them..." Yep. Just like the people who try and reload steel cases. Or try to convert berdan primed brass cases to boxer. More effort than it's worth.
