Aluminum cased handgun ammo accuracy?

[Arik]

Please elaborate....was it higher pressured?

It's not unheard of for Russian ammo to sometimes be overcharged. A guy on another forum was getting something like 1450fps out of Tula 380. It was a couple rounds. The rest were fine.


Aluminum cased ammo is just typical range ammo. It won't win you any bullseye competitions but it works fine and accurate enough for practice

Yep, ruptured case. I don't have an issue with the American made aluminum stuff, but shy away from Russian now

Ok, thanks for clearing that up. I was thinking maybe you actually had your gun damaged. American it shall be

I've shot thousands of rounds of 9mm federal aluminum case and more Blazer than I can remember, never had a reliability or accuracy issue with either.

I haven't noticed an accuracy difference shooting Blazer aluminum 9mm

I've had great success with aluminum cased Blazer .380 ammo. Not a single issue so far.

I've shot a bunch of Al cased 9mm. No feeding problems and every bit - if not more accurate than WWB.

It shot well the one time I tried it. Not the most accurate, but definitely not the worst either. The only reason I don't buy it is because for me locally it comes out to the same price as buying brass cases online.

I have not noticed a difference in the accuracy of Aluminum case vs off the shelf brass case. This isn't match grade ammo but it's perfectly fine for training or practice. I've ran both Federal and Blazer without issues.

Fine for blastin' ammo. It does not take well to long-term storage, though. Under less than ideal storage conditions, the aluminum cases will oxidize over time and allow air/moisture contamination.
