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 WMR - 40 Grain TMJ - CCI Maxi-Mag - 500 Rounds

This ammo’s clean, Gene! CCI’s Maxi-Mag label 22 WMR ammunition features not a full metal jacket, but a total metal jacket bullet. That’s going to keep your firearm more accurate in the long run – not to mention prevent a lot of lead vapor from finding its way to your lungs. This round’s TMJ begins as a lead core, which is subsequently enveloped in a pure layer of copper. In simple terms, hot propellant gasses cannot access the TMJ’s core, so they can not melt lead onto the rifling or turn it into airborne particles. CCI’s certainly going to treat you to the 22 WMR’s signature high velocity. This cartridge’s 1,875 fps muzzle velocity gives its 40 grain bullet a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.127. Should stay faster than 1,300 fps at 100 yards, no sweat! CCI is widely regarded as one of the greatest rimfire ammo producers of all time. The Idahoan company’s sure-fire primer certainly contributes to this reputation, as do their fine brass cases and clean-burning propellant.
