CCI blazers are not rim fire ammo. It is centerfire hand gun ammo.

If you want to use the 22 for hunting squirrels and rabbits I have found nothing better than CCI mini mags. Love these rounds. Acurate as heck too.

CCI, IMO, makes the best rim fire ammo.

damn! i should of known that price was too good to be true... i guess remingtons will work and either a new rod and brush or a bore snake. eh ill have to see tomarrow, go and look around. look at the guns for something to do.

bigbulls,

Actually cci does make Blazer rimfire ammo. I bought 1000rnds several years back

Get some of both and try them, that's really the only way to know what works best in your gun. It's a cheap experiment.

I don't think they make it any more though. Must be some old stock still laying around. If that's the case then buy it up.

I just went to their web site and they don't list it there so it probably is some he's had laying around the store. Nine bucks for a brick, you can't go wrong.

bigbulls, I don't think they market it as blazer anymore but as classic.

And believe it or not, it shoots better in my 10/22 than most. I now shoot stingers with good accuracy.

Dont go with the Remington ammo. Ive had that ammo jam on me so many times. CCI is the best, mini mags, velocitors, stinger.

CCI is the only RF ammo that I use any more. Thye seem to burn much cleaner than others, lead up less and are generally more accurate ane reliable than other hunting grade ammo.

Those stingers are some quick little rounds. They say those are the ones to use if you use a 22 for personal defense.

I want to try the new velicotor rounds they have out now. A 40 grain HP at 1435 fps. That's aproaching some 22 WMR rounds.
