weldersunited Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hello all, When I purchased the rimmy about 12 months or so ago I bought my full allowance of ammo but only in one make- CCI. As i soon found out, these seem to chamber very tightly in my CZ 452, to the point where it's almost a 2 handed job to close the bolt. now use the winchester subs and these cycle a treat as well as being accurate. Trouble is i'm now stuck with 250 approx rounds of CCI subs. Gunshop isn't interested in swapping them as they only sell CCI. Any suggestions for their safe disposal? Thanks Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I'll take them off you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Mule Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 It's no consolation, but CCIs caused me no end of problems in my CZ 452. I had to take a screw driver to get some of the spent cases out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weldersunited Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Can I sell them? wasn't sure if allowed to do that... I'm in Axbridge Somerset. Yep, have heard of others having similar problems with CCI subs in their 452's as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Can I sell them? wasn't sure if allowed to do that... Just write the ammo onto the other person's FAC ammo sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbird Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Same problem in my Ruger 10/22 will not cycle CCI but cycles Winchester perfectly, there must be another gunshop near you that will buy/swap them for you Edited March 1, 2012 by blackbird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandspider Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Do you ever come up Bristol way? My CZ-452 seems to like CCIs so far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livefast123 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I'm going to need some .22LR rounds to shoot my new barrel in when I get my rifle, will be a 452 though so don't know if they'll be ok I could pop down to Axbridge if your desperate to give them away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 You don't need to be a RFD to sell ammo. Yes, I found some of the CCI VERY tight to chamber in my CZ, never tried them in the Magtech, but they shot well. I'm easy, and if you want to move them on I'll happily take them off your hands! PM me if you want a chat. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weldersunited Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Thanks all for the replies- i was a tad optimistic on the quantity, it's 157 that I have. Either way they need to be gone as I don't have a massive amount of rounds to hold. Available to purchase if anyone would like , preferably local to me so drop me a PM if interested.

JonathanL Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 If you have ammo you no longer want or need and are not bothered about getting your money back on them you can just hand them in to the police. Same with firearms. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with firearms. J. Probably better to hand it in at his local RFD, its a good way to get on and build a relationship, they can always find a home for it!

Oh yeah! I'm actually surprised to hear that CCI is difficult to chamber. My club goes through huge quantities of CCI Blazer a year and we have never noticed a problem. J.
