22 Blazer ammo

mballai

Anybody have any experience with this ammo? Bought a brick of it for under $9.00. CCI usuallly makes decent ammo; just wondering how anyone else might have fared with this practice ammo. I've been less than thrilled with Thunderbolt even though it seems to work ok much of the time.

Much better than Thunderbolt. Not as good as CCI Mini-mags, but good practice ammo and works well in most .22's.

Hope this helps.

Sounds good. Maybe my only mistake was not buying more, but I can remedy that. Thanks!

They shoot just fine,and they've been around for a long long time.I did an impromptu test of six brands of ammo in my old beater .22 a while back,and the Blazer shot as well...or is it as good??... as the five dollar stuff did.
I"ve never cared for the Thunderbolts either.

Throckmortons' the alias,cas is the game.

I have shot several bricks of them over the years. They are a little on the dirty side, but decent practice ammo.

Guns only have two enemies: Rust and Liberals....

Just got back from the range. I shot roughly 200 rounds of the stuff and it did quite well in the 10/22 with rather tight groups at 50 ft. I suspect it's better then I am, but I'll have to shoot a bit more of it and compare it to some of the others to see how it stacks up.

Practice ammo is just that. No one expects something that costs a fraction of the good stuff to be as accurate, consistent or as clean.

i have had excellent accuracy results with blazers. i wonder if the blazer is the same as the mini-mag loading without the copper coat and a bit fancier packaging. seens to be the same powder.

Just bought some Blazer for the first time, and have found it consistent and reliable, and without formal testing, about as accurate as Federal 711, for instance.

I tried out several different "cheap" 22 out in my target model 10/22. The blazers were the most accurate but they are a little dirty.

I bought two more bricks of the stuff yesterday. My Ruger is going in for customizing and I know I'll be shooting like mad the day it's done[:D]
