Default CCI Blazer Any Good?

Natchez has it on sale for $18.80 a brick. I've never shot it before.

I have had great luck with the CCI Blazer in .22LR. Hard to believe that price as it was only a couple of years ago I bought it for $7 a brick, and last year seeing the prices skyrocket, I bought a case that worked out to $12 a brick.

$17.99 a brick if purchased by the 5000 round case. Bought some myself not too long ago, like 2 months ago when it was only $120 a case! This is nuts!!!!

I know its crazy, but still relatively cheap to shoot. I ordered based on your experience.

Thanks!

I wouldn't have purchased about 10,000 rounds of them if I didn't believe in them. Hope your luck has been as good as mine. With ammo prices what they are, I am starting to wonder if they are going to sacrifice quality for profit. Hope not.

If? I'm looking for WHEN even in calibers you can reload and this includes every ammo manufacturer out there...

Default Old .22 reliability

Thanks for comments on Blazer. I have had no experience with that.

Just got some Russian Vostok .22, and have not yet had a chance to get to the range. I am eager to check it out. Excellent reputation, and I got it at a good price. I will put my comments on the web site in a few weeks.

Any experience with age of ammunition? I just shot up some 40 year old Federal .22 that was accurate, but somewhat difficult to extract empties from my little S&W kit gun.
