Blazer .22 ammo any good?

[Ebola]

Just picked up a brick that was thrown in as part of a deal. Is this stuff any good? The clerk said it was made by CCI however I dont see the CCI name on it anywhere. I have used CCI stingers in the past and it was quality stuff. Is Blazer the CCI discount brand?

Depends what factory it was made in .
They produce it in 2 different plants

Minute of pop can stuff.

Also depends on the gun.

Best of the cheap bulk stuff in my guns, runs the autoloaders 100%.

There was a time when CCI made Blazer was the best deal on the market for 22 bulk at $200 for 5000 rounds. I think you will be pleased if its the CCI stuff.

I'm not sure yet but I just picked up a brick from crappy tire for $5.29 so I'm itching to find out

A brick or a box? 5.29$ is a price screw up if you scored a brick.

A brick. It was definitely a price screw up but I just kept my mouth shut. I was sad they only had the one brick. I would have bought the skid

I ran some of the CCI Blazer over the Chrony and it was running around 1200 fps.
Accuracy is acceptable for some of the cheaper 22 long rifle ammo available.
No misfires but were being shot from 2 CZ455's.

I just picked up 4 more bricks @$29 & change per. I have a little rimfire that loves the stuff. Better than the $40 per that I was finding locally...

I hate you!

Great score!

The 50 round boxes are the good stuff. The bulk boxes not so much. My cz's shoot the 50 round boxes into small groups. Also the best cheap ammo in my gf's ruger american.

My guns love the stuff, it should have the CCI "C" on it.

I got a case for $380 in January, was the best deal around at the time

My marlin 60 loves it. It's great though, and will gummy wax up the tube mag after a while. The loose packed stuff is greasier

Anyone else have problems with thee in the HC3R mags for the 10/22?

 

[hisnibs]

I have a brick tucked away that I bought a few months back. It's 50rd boxes packed in a 400 or 500 rd brick. Haven't had a chance to try any and certainly didn't score it for $5.

It's 500 rounds in there.

I was paying $22 tax in for these bricks a little over a year ago. Now cheapest I have seen is $35+ tax and shipping.

Still got a brick or 2 plus a couple 525 rd packs left that were bought in 5000rd case and 5250rd case respectively for $200 each a few years ago. $400 for 10,250 rds, those were the days. My 10/22 loves CCI Blazers, rarely has a stoppage. Accuracy is fine for the plinking I do but better bolt guns certainly preffered subs and other half ass match ammo.

I've got 5000 CCI Blazer stashed away for my razorback belt fed .
The Federal Blazer is not the same ammo
