I went out gophering yesterday after work and brought along my trusty Federal bulk pack to use in my Rem 597. No surprises there (tons of dead gophers), but then I ran out of Federal and had to dip into my supply of ammo other brands that I had used to originally check for accuracy to keep shooting.
Pulled out the Blasers and fired off a few clips. Figured things wouldn't go as well switching from hollow points to lead type, but I was wrong! I started pulling off multiple kills with the Blasers, sometimes unintentionally! The bullets would seem to go through one gopher and find another I would say 10% of the time. The accuracy was really just as good as the hollow points, and it SEEMED the wind wasn't moving them around as much either.
Just wanted to thank whoever it was that recommended them in the Remington 597 as good ammo. I'm a believer now!
 
I own nthe 507 yellow jacket, BELEIVE me, CCI is good, but the BEST, I mean the BEST by far is the LAPUA Club Sport .22. I know it like $5 per box, but DAMN!!! Its lead, but it is SO accirate, even with my shaky trigger finger on a sand bag as support, 50 Yards group of 5 shots are in the 0.67" groups ALL DAY!

Just buy a box to try and be ammazed.
 
I use a fair amount of CCI Blazer ammo in my "fun" 22's, and have always been pleased with the results. I have shot them at 50 meters in a serious rifle, and while they are OK, they are not target ammo by any stretch of the imagination. Plenty good enough for plinking and gophers, etc. Regards, Eagleye.
 
I have a little .22 handgun (6 shot revolver single action) and the blazer ammo is the only ammo it will chamber. By this I mean, the winchester, federal, remington etc will not even FIT in the chamber. They get stuck halfway in, or wont even go past the actual bullet into the cylinders. BUT the blazer goes in everytime and is SUPER ACCURATE.
NOW NOT TO HIJACK the thread, but is there a dimentional difference in the CCI and the other brands. It doesn't make sense that none of the other brands will physically not fit , but the CCI will everytime. Either the actual bullets are smaller in profile or something. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? I cant imagine the fact that the CCI ammo is marginally smaller than the other stuff. This stuff is all the same size (casing wise) so I guess the bullet profile is thinner allowing it to chamber in my revolver. Am I wrong?

Funny, it's often the CCI Stingers that re the ones not "fitting-in".
