The CCI Blazer Brass .357 Magnum 158-Grain Full Metal Jacket Flat Nose (FMJ-FN) Factory Brass 50-round box is specialized centerfire ammunition engineered explicitly for high-volume range practice, revolver marksmanship, and lever-action carbine plinking. Unjacketed lead target ammunition frequently causes heavy barrel lead fouling during extended range sessions, while pointed projectiles pose serious primer-detonation hazards inside tubular lever-action magazines. CCI resolves these fouling and platform safety constraints by pairing a fully jacketed 158-grain flat-nose bullet with a 1,250 FPS muzzle velocity and 548 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, delivering authentic magnum recoil dynamics, clean bore passage, and safe tubular magazine feeding.
The primary performance advantage centers on the 158-grain Full Metal Jacket Flat Nose bullet geometry. Built with a solid lead core completely enclosed in a smooth copper jacket, the projectile prevents barrel leading and eliminates premature deformation on paper or steel targets. The flat-nose contour prevents primer-to-bullet tip contact when stacked end-to-end inside tubular lever-action rifle magazines under recoil, while ensuring smooth feed-ramp entry and clean cylinder loading across .357 Magnum revolvers and carbines.
Manufactured in the USA in ISO-certified facilities by CCI Ammunition, these cartridges are assembled in heat-treated, precision-drawn reloadable brass cases. Unlike CCI’s aluminum-cased Blazer lineup, Blazer Brass utilizes standard Boxer primer pockets fitted with sensitive, non-corrosive CCI primers and clean-burning propellants, ensuring crisp ignition, low action residue, and extended brass life for custom handloading.
