CCI Blazer Aluminum not ok for lever action rifles?

[IanS]

I read they aren't recommended for lever action rifles like the 1892 clones or the Marlin 1894. Can anyone confirm this and anyone know why?

Maybe because they're rough on brass?

Why not go over to http://www.marlinowners.com/forums/index.php?board=32.0 and ask them ?

The aluminum cases can gall & catch during feeding.

Some Blazer cartridges are now available with brass cases - I have 200 brasse Blazer .45ACP empties in hand right now.

So, what I was told a while back is that the extractor on the lever rifles is strong and can pull the aluminum rim right off the case, leaving a stuck, unextracted case. And, I was told that the extractor can be dmaged. And, when I had a Henry Repeating Arms 44 Magnum Big Boy lever rifle, I did use some 44 Special in Blazer aluminum cases and I did have some jams during levering. So, I stopped using the Blazer aluminum cased stuff, but I eventually sold that rifle to go "all Winchester" and never looked back. I've still got 100 rounds of Blazer 44 Special aluminum cased stuff in the ammo locker and I am probably going to fire it from a revolver instead of using it in one of my Winchester model 94's in 44 Mag. Just don't need any aggravation or damaged rifles.
