either one good? might get 1 or 2 boxes, just depends if they have something else i need....hopefuly a cleaning rod. and some hearing protection.

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

RE: what .22LR Ammo?
 

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.

RE: what .22LR Ammo?
 

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.

RE: what .22LR Ammo?
 

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.

i bought the remington.... big5 was closer at the time. i dont have to worry about jaming i dont think....im useing them in a single shot rifel.

RE: what .22LR Ammo?
 

CCI does still make the Blazer ammo in .22 LR. The .22 LR Blazer line existed long before the new "cheap" centerfire line.

CCI Blazer .22 LR is very inexpensive, about 87 cents per 50 in case lots.
Why do I know this? We use it as cheap practice ammo for our youth firearms classes.

That being said, I like Winchester Dynapoints (the .22 LR version)

Miller John, Welcome to the forum! In my experience, Big 5 is usually not the price leader on ammunition, although I do give them credit for usually having a box or two of 6.5x55 and 8x57 ammo on hand. Turner's is ok, but for ordinary .22 ammo don't be shy about trying your local Walmart if price is a major consideration. Just keep in mind that if you have a decent gun store nearby it's not a bad idea to throw some business their way so that you have a continued source of guns, ammo and other related stuff. Turner's is not my favorite place by any means but they are worlds ahead of WallyWorld in terms of service and selection. Turner's also tends to carry a variety of .22 ammunition including some of the more expensive target stuff if you really want to se what you can do.

As far as brands go you need to see which ones work best in your individual firearm. I've had great luck with CCI Mini Mags in my semi auto firearms but not necessarily the best accuracy. Experiment with different brands, it's cheap and it's fun.

my local gunshop is turner's....big5 is the big retailer in the L.A. city that is close for me. i got a list of other shops that ill check out soon. theres a walmart out in valencia that sells ammo but its kinda far right now.

RE: what .22LR Ammo?
 

Do they just make the blazer line for specific companies or something or do these companies that do have just have a bunch remaining in stock?

In all the gun shops I have ever been into I have never seen blazer 22lr. CCI doesn't even list it on their web site. Where are the blazer bullets coming from? I'm lost.[8D]

RE: what .22LR Ammo?
 

i have no idea where turner's is getting that stock of ammo. its a outdoor chain outfit here in southren california.

I like remington thunderbolts for cheap plinking...cant beat 6 bucks a brick. I like dynapoints and minimags for hunting.

RE: what .22LR Ammo?
 

I recently bought a box at the local Canadian Tire store.It is a basic round nose lead bullet but I get very good accuracy with them.Believe it or not, one of the best performers in my rifle is the 550 round bulk pack from Federal.Without getting into a debate regarding personal defense and the .22 rimfire( it was mentioned in an earlier post ),I keep a mag. loaded with Stingers for my wife's rifle,it's something she's comfortable shooting and can shoot well.I believe it was Elmer Keith who said he would rather stand before a nimrod with a .44 mag. than an expert with a .22 ..........
