Blazer 22 ammo JUNK

[noea77]

My .22 loves blazer. Most accurate out of all ammo ive tried.

Did you buy the blazer 525 bulk pack or the 500 rd brick? The 525 stuff is horrible and waxy, the 500 rd brick with clear holder is much better

It also fails to feed in an autoloader.. too much wax

My last remaining savage loves blazer and once I got the extraction issues due to the waxyness figured out its fun to shoot again.

Maybe you got a bad batch. I've always found them to shoot well in my rifles and handguns.

I'll second that.
Every once in a while, "some" factory "somewhere" will make a bad batch.

I bought a 5250 caseload of this stuff and all my .22 like it fine enough, and there is a mix of feeding types - a semi, a single shot, bolt action tube fed and bolt action mag fed. I did notice that the early groups were slightly unexplainable, but they started tightening up, and I am now 1/2 way through that caseload and have had 2 ftf, so I'm not complaining. I went out and picked up another 20k rounds.

I cleaned all the guns that I have been shooting thios with just last night, and did not notice any extraordinary filth.

I just bought a couple new boxes, I'll give them a try next time out.

The 500 bricks seem okay though..

Got a brick of 500 and have been getting about 10% FTF in my M&P. Next time I'll stick with the Mini-Mags.

The mini mags are good and so is the CCI Standard.. I use the "Standard" in my target pistols and 22LR CZ rifle very accurate.

I got the 525 bricks, thats all they sell around here.

That seems pretty high to me.

I had (gone now..) a 5250 box. All of it functioned great out of my 10/22 Target. 2.5"-3" groups at 100 yards - I was pretty happy with that for cheap bulk ammo.

Blazer 22 40 grains in the one ammo all my semis love so it's strange to hear that it Is junk

Bad batch or qc went way down to keep up with demand

Seems pretty good, but I would go with the CCI standard to get smaller groups.. your money your decision..

yes I found they were terribly waxy feeling.

 

[condomboy]

I've shot thousands of rounds of Blazer through my 10/22 and it all groups within the dot on my cheap red dot sight which is about 3" at 100 yards

You mean .... not everyone is 100%, 100% of the time???

 

[chadeech]

i have never had issues with them
hundreds of rounds both through bolt and semi
i would try again in case was just a bad batch

 

[lone ranger]

I feel kinda jilted here LOL, seems to work well for everyone else. Go figure, try something new for the first time and get a bad batch. Turned me and my buddy off,..we couldnt believe it. Oh well. still wont buy again. Staying with Federal and Mini mag. I have 3/4 of a box left and I'm dumping it.

I loaded 650rds on belts, I think end of the day I had about 50 FTF, But that was my gun.
