CCI Blazer Aluminum 44 Special 200 grain jacketed hollow point 3556 ammo takes the traditionally mild-mannered 44 Special in a more specialized direction with a 200-grain JHP bullet. The cavity-nosed projectile is designed with expansion in mind, while the aluminum case sets it apart from conventional brass-cased revolver ammunition.
The 44 Special has a long association with lead-bullet revolver shooting, so this ammo's jacketed hollow point is a meaningful choice rather than just different packaging. A cavity at the nose suggests an expansion-oriented purpose, but it cannot by itself establish recovered diameter or penetration. Owners changing from a round-nose practice bullet should confirm point of impact with the intended sights.
The ammo's two standout choices are the 200-grain JHP and the single-use case. Its aluminum cases are intended for one firing, which may matter to revolver owners who otherwise save their brass. CCI lists 920 fps for this defensive loading and supplies it in 50-round boxes.
