Blazer of WWB for range ammo?

I already have a bunch of WWB that I need to finish off but I'm considering some Blazer next time. Does it burn cleaner? Is it reliable? Am I splitting hairs here and should I just go with whatever is cheaper at the time?

This would be for 9mm, 10mm and .45.

I buy the box of 50 Blazer Brass at Walmart for around $9. They charge $11 for a box of 50 WWB. I've used plenty of both and I can't tell too much of a difference. The Blazer Brass seem to be a little bit dirtier but if you clean your firearm after every range trip, I don't think it'll matter too much.

I never had any problems with the Blazer Brass but last time I went to the range, I had a dud with the WWB. Loaded it back in and tried again with the same result. One out of thousands of rounds is not bad though.

Whatever you do, save your brass or aluminum and recycle!

If the Blazer is the aluminum I would pass, just because I reload everything and prefer to be able to keep my spent brass. I have also found the Blazer to be very dirty.

WWB, but I pick up my brass, too.

I use Blazer aluminum and am quite satisfied.
I think right now it's the cheapest even with shipping.

I dunno if it burns cleaner, but I prefer Blazer Brass over WWB. I have opened a few WWB and found some rounds miscrimped, and I get more jam ups with WWB. Maybe its me, I just feel better with Blazer Brass.

Blazer or WWB for range ammo?

I find the blazer alu 10mm to be very good.
In the .45acp and brass cases I have recoil bullet pull worse than all other brands.
I am using revolvers.
