A new low: CCI Blazer .22

[Agnotology]

The Aguila ammo always has a cat piss like ammonia smell to it. I never liked running it, but would because it was cheap.

Those pics in the OP look pretty bad. Does most of the black stuff brush off with a little effort though? Like if you put the rounds between a couple of towels and rubbed them together for a minute would most of it come off, or is it more persistent than that?

It takes some effort to get it off. I don't think it would be worth the effort. I contacted Blazer and got a quick reply saying they would take back the remaining ammo and inspect it.

you try lighting it ? kinda looks like propellant........

No. The first box I was expecting to find a round that came apart and spilled the powder or something, but after the next few boxes looked the same I realized it was something else

That looks like the 38gr "pour pack" Blazer. Next time buy the 40gr in 50rd boxes. It's clean, may shoot a little bit faster than CCI Standard, and is some of the best practice ammo out there - way more reliable than any other bulk pack stuff.

lol blazer 22 has always been not that great, the only good thing about it was that some finicky shitty guns would like it. I had an old ruger mkii that "preferred" that shit to pretty much
anything.

Overtime, everyone accumulates that one gun that prefers low quality ammunition. I have a Ruger single six convertible that fires Thunderbolts and Golden Bullets the best. I kept them around for foulers, now I have to hold a few bricks for it. I guess in retrospect, every farm should have a pig.

I haven't bought the bulk but it is usually cleaner than Winchester or especially Aguilar cheap stuff. I just got 500 rds. Fiochi .22lr. and boy, as with all there ammo that I've used 9mm, .380, .38 ,there is a big difference in cleanliness for not that much more money and I notice cleaning, less residue, is better also.

The Fiocchi .22LR is clean? I haven't had a problem with their centerfire stuff in a long time, although when it first came out I was using some in a S&W 39 and it left a lot of brass fragments.

Maybe that ammonia smell in Aguila ammo is ammonium nitrate. Yeah, it smells funny but shoots great.

Blazer has always been waxy

With him? never. For you? I might make an exception.
