17 WSM - 15 Grain Polymer Tip - Winchester Varmint X Lead Free - 50 Rounds

A lot of power in a little package – that sums up this 17 WSM load by Winchester to a T. Ideal for hunting both predators and burrowing things, it features a 15 grain polymer tip rapid expanding bullet that also very nicely contains no toxic lead. Great for California and other environments which don’t require additional lead! This round’s bullet sports a streamlined polymer tip, thin and concentric copper alloy jacket, and lead-free core. The tip is nestled deep within the core’s cavity, and on impact abruptly plunges inward to send it flying in every direction at once. The jacket’s sidewalls are engineered specifically to promote faster and more uniform fragmentation as well. All in all we can only compare terminal performance like this bullet’s to a tiny stick of dynamite! This Varmint X Lead Free cartridge features a freshly minted straight-walled brass case, non-corrosive rimfire primer, and charge of reduced residue propellant. It’s 100 percent equipped to turn you into a prairie dog’s personal angel of death!*

22 LR - 38 Grain LRN - Blazer - 200 Rounds

Remember how your school lunch used to come with a little carton full of milk? And the extreme dissatisfaction you would feel if you accidentally opened that carton the wrong way? And the angry look on your fourth grade teacher’s face when she discovered that you filled her purse with dirt you smuggled in from the schoolyard? Okay, maybe that last thing is more from our own personal school experience, but at least you remember the milk carton. Well, now’s your chance to open a carton that’s filled with something even better than milk: American-made 22 LR ammunition by Blazer. This is a true plinker’s cartridge, with a 38 grain lead round nose bullet. The simple projectile lacks any copper which could have jacked up its manufacturing cost, and its light weight and peppy propellant charge grant it a 1,235 fps muzzle velocity out of a rifle barrel. A 0.128 G1 ballistic coefficient keeps the bullet’s velocity supersonic until 35 yards and above 1,000 fps until 96 yards. At 100 yards the bullet retains 84 ft lbs of energy – plenty to kill a varmint with, even if the LRN cannot expand. Blazer expressly designs this 22 LR ammo to function in semi-automatic firearms, although it should prove just as reliable in manual action rifles and revolvers as well. Blazer’s rimfire primers are made by CCI – one of the very best in the rimfire primer business – which alongside its consistent brass cases provides highly reliable functionality.
