Aluminum vs Brass casings
Is there any difference in performance and reliability between aluminum and brass casings for CCI 9mm Blazer 115 gr FMJ ammo?

Cases, and no difference in performance other than I have heard that aluminum can be harder on an extractor. Aluminum should be cheaper, but you can re-sell brass.

no harder on the gun, and lighter on the wallet.
I reload, so the savings in the re-use of the brass more than pays me back vs the initial purchase.
