steve_b_wales Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Has anyone tried the above ammunition? I picked up a few 100 just for a bit of target shooting on the farm. I don't usually use HV ammo' but at the price I paid for them, it was worth a punt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyboy1950 Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 I have shot loads of them through my CZ american, it likes them. Having been able to get them at £3.00 a box of 50 just had to give them a try. Used them outdoors at Catton park a few weeks back at 140 yards and was able to pick off the swinging onions with no bother at all.(witnessed by one of the Marshall's and my regular shooting pal who is also a member of this forum, I passed the rifle to him and he repeated the shooting). Imo they have the same performance as the Federal 40 grain HV. I purchased a bulk load of both from my club armourer. FB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Yes I have bought thousands of Blazers over the years, its not match grade ammo, but It was plenty good enough for my kids to learn to shoot with it. Great plinking ammo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great plinking ammo I've never tried them before, although I've used Winchester Laser, and Stinger in the past. I bought them to use for some target practice on the farm, and at £70 /1000, I thought they were worth trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) They are not as fast as stingers by a long way. They are like the old Eley HV, just a couple of hundred fps faster than standard 22LR. A lot of people like then in 10/22s because they give a bit more push to the slide if the rifle is a bit fussy, so the theory goes. Not that long ago I was buying them for £19/500 Edited April 10, 2018 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the stingers are the fastest of the HV .22LR. The Blazer is reported to have a MV of 1235 ft/sec and the Stinger is 1640 ft/sec. CCI Velocitor is 1435 ft/sec. I remember using Winchester Lasers, with my BRNO Model 2 rifle, and they were quite accurate. I intend to use the Blazers in my Anschutz 527 (if suitable) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruger didn't like Federal Champion Edited April 12, 2018 by defender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
