CCI Blazer .45 Colt (Long Colt) 200 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) Ammo
Cost-effective American-made .45 Colt target and self-defense ammunition. CCI Blazer 200gr JHP combines aircraft-grade non-reloadable aluminum cases and reliable Boxer priming with a Jacketed Hollow Point bullet for clean shooting and high-value target training or personal protection.
Product Overview
CCI Blazer .45 Colt (Long Colt) 200 grain ammo is manufactured in Lewiston, Idaho, offering high performance without the higher price tag of traditional brass-cased ammunition. Designed for high-volume target practice, range training, and home defense, this load utilizes lightweight aircraft-grade heat-treated aluminum cases that deliver smooth feeding and reliable ejection while keeping cost down.
Featuring a 200-grain Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) bullet, this load is designed for consistent velocity, manageable recoil, and positive expansion on impact. It functions reliably in modern single-action and double-action revolvers chambered in .45 Colt—such as the Ruger Vaquero, Ruger Blackhawk, and Smith & Wesson Governor—as well as lever-action carbines. Loaded with non-corrosive, non-mercuric primers and clean-burning propellants, CCI Blazer keeps your firearm cleaner over extended range sessions.
