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.

22 LR - 40 Grain LRN - Federal Champion - 800 Rounds

Real shooters will practice their aim on empty bottles, paper targets and squirrels with nothing less than the 700 Nitro Express. But at around $70 per cartridge, firing the 700 Nitro can get a little … well, let’s just say your mortgage lender better have a laid back approach to their business. Smart shooters prefer more economical ammo for plinking and casual varmint hunting. You’re smart, which is why you’ll love this brick of 800 22 LR cartridges by Federal Premium. This round has the elemental 22 LR bullet: the lead round nose. It has no copper plating that increases production costs, is made of solid, uniform lead, sports a ballistically efficient profile, and still delivers a decent amount of impact energy despite being incapable of terminal expansion. This round’s bullet weighs 40 grains – the norm for 22 LR. At that weight the bullet still achieves supersonic velocity out of a muzzle’s rifle, so its trajectory is flat and its chamber pressure is adequate to cycle a semi-auto like the Ruger 10/22 or an AR-15. This ammo’s non-corrosive primers and clean-burning propellant tend to reliable ignition. Its brass cases, which possesses uniform rim thickness, wall concentricity and length, are designed to support smooth feeding and ejection in any firearm. Its bullets have standardized weights for consistent ballistic performance. Federal Premium has operated out of Anoka, Minnesota since Warren G. Harding was in office. They’ve revolutionized a lot about the ammo industry in nearly 100 years, and in that time they’ve mastered the art of creating value without needlessly inflating their production costs.
